Is whatever said at an AA meeting considered non-incriminating?

Does it fall under the same protection as lawyer/client, doctor/patient, and church confession fall under?

Let’s say someone stands up and confesses of killing someone last night after falling off the wagon.

I’m not a drunk or go to AA meetings.

Just wondering. I’m watching a movie and there was a scene at an AA meeting.

You must be drunk to think that is remotely true

Being drunk or high has never been a defense for crime.

Yes everyone at an AA meeting takes a vow of silence

No, but it sure would make me feel better.

Yeah AA folks are a bunch of tight lipped group, just kidding, , they didn’t end up in AA for having integrity. I would watch what you say, half the people in there are forced to go.

Truer words have never been spoken. You can trade sucking on that whiskey bottle for sucking off Tyrone.

It’s not inadmissible but you can say pretty much anything and not have people judge u cause they done the same stuff that’s kinda the point

No..its not a paid partnership. It's actually less trustworthy than confiding in your girlfriend's best friend.

Also, I would wager that a cop or two is in attendance for their own reasons. If someome admits to a serious crime, they probably won’t let that go.

People in AA meetings don’t spill the beans like that unless they are slow or crazy. I’ve never heard anyone give details on a specific crime. Some may speak in generalities to outline their behavior while they were at the mercy of alcoholism.

They can’t control their impulses, So my theory is they can’t control their mouth also.

I heard on the little peel off name tag they give you when you arrive at the meeting they list your crimes so you can sit by someone just as bad as you.

Murderers to the left
DUI's to the right
and over here
those that just fight!
