Answer:

c. admitted guilt.

Step-by-step explanation:

The research of michael l. Radelet and Adam Bedau showed that many people are convicted after pleading guilty to a crime they did not commit to prosecutors, to compromise and take supposedly lighter punishments.

The vast majority of these people are convicted of drug or homicide cases. Almost all cases of admission of guilt to the prosecutor by innocent people followed false confessions to law enforcement authorities.
