In criminal defense, under what circumstances can confession be retracted?

The confessions made by criminal suspects and defendants in criminal proceedings, once recognized as valid evidence by the court, will have an important impact on the judgment of the case.

However, under certain circumstances, a criminal suspect or defendant may retract his confession. These situations include: the confession was made under the condition of extorting a confession by torture, the confession was wrong or untrue, the confession was made under the condition of being misled, deceived or threatened, and the suspect or defendant was not legally defended before the confession.
