Reply To: Question about Confidentiality of Discussions with One’s Rabbi in American law

Its is Priest , not a minister . A Priest is for catholics and minister for Protestants. Confession is part of Catholism , not most (if not all Protestanism) Its specifically for catholics who confess to the Priest, Its inadmissible as evidence. The Priest can go to the Police to report the body, but if he turns in the confessee the police cannot arrest him on this basis and the prosecutor cannot use this as evidence of guilt
