Is recording someone secretly court-admissible?

Ok, here's the deal. I used to be friends with a guy who is a rapist. He told me all about a rape one night, and when I went to tell the police they said there was nothing I could do unless a victim talked. He's stupid, and I think I could get him to repeat it whilst I had a digital recorder going. I live in Arkansas and I know recording another's voice is legal. I just don't know if its court admissible.

    Check with the county DA. Wiretapping laws may be in place which could prevent the recording from being admissible.

    No. Not admissible at all.

  • No it is not, to bad it isn't.
