A general criminal law principle known as the corpus delicti rule provides that a confession, standing alone, isn't enough for a conviction.

I am not taking a position. I'm saying no one has presented hard evidence. And until they do, if ever, both sides will play hot potato and nothing will happen.

When someone presents hard evidence for either position I'll listen to them happily.

It may not be sufficient for a conviction in criminal court, but it goes a long way in the court of public opinion. As well it should.
