The defendant confesses to doing crime A and crime B; and there was evidence for crime A happening but there was none found for crime B. If the defendant were then to confess to doing crime B in court, would corpus delicti still apply? Really curious about this, thanks in advance.

Nothing much else to be done until the judge rules on the shock motion. You might want to arrange for some aftercare if available to show the judge that he is committed to recovery. I’d make dads status known to the PO is husband is shocked.
