Witnesses could testify to the nature of the documents if they actually saw them. There are a variety of other ways to corroborate, and a taped "confession" certainly rarely HELPS a defendant.

Never said it helped. I said if they want to meet the burden they better produce the document. Allegedly on the tape he is simply holding the document saying he can’t show it to anyone. How, then, would a witness testify to the contents?

If they didn't actually see the document, yes that is an issue on this one singular count.

According to the tape you claim is sufficient they did not. Which is why they need to produce the document.
