Definition
interlocking confession
: a confession of a defendant in a joint trial that agrees in important respects with that of a codefendant NOTE: The use of interlocking confessions at trial can pose difficult problems when a defendant's confession incriminates a codefendant. If the first defendant does not testify, the other may be deprived of the right to confront an accuser.
