During judicial proceedings, a judge may encounter a confession previously made before another judge; in such circumstances, the judge confronts not merely a confession, but a statement that has already undergone formal evaluation. This article, employing a descriptive‑analytical method, examines the judge’s duty when facing a confession previously assessed by another judicial authority. The issue becomes significant when the confession is later denied or repudiated, or when the renewed presence of the confessor becomes difficult or impossible. Some jurists regard the prior confession as conclusive, decisive evidence revealing the truth, whereas others do not consider the judge bound by it. Legal scholars, relying on Articles 153, 199, 200, and 290 of the Civil Procedure Code, maintain that determining the credibility and probative value of the prior confession lies within the competence of the presiding judge and depends on the formation of judicial certainty. Conversely, some scholars classify prior court minutes as an official document and deem adherence to the confession obligatory. Jurisprudential and legal foundations emphasize the interpretive role and judicial discernment of the judge in uncovering the truth and attaining inner conviction.
