Oh dear, you are presuming the admissions relate to actions committed
within 
the jurisdiction of the UK courts...

Of course one might have
been drinking afer hours (24 hour bar in Antwerp)                  (fine)
had a*** *** with a woman (outside the UK before 1994)    (life)
been in a brown bar (in Amsterdam)                                      (7

years)
possessed a firearm (in the USA) 
(5 years to life)
had carnal knowlede of the queen (of Spain before 1998)      (death)
etc.

so such an admission is virtually useless for a UK conviction, unless
there 
is a lot more detail, and dare I say it a corroborating witness.


OTOH Chris Evan is obviously criminally insane and should be kept in a
very 
heavily padded room for the rest of his life or until he loses his
voice...
