Most criminals don't fear much when caught alone, as they can choose certain truths to disclose, skirting around the issues, or shift some blame onto others, thus reducing their own guilt.
But if two or more accomplices are caught, an uncontrollable panic spreads within these people. They will consider whether others have confessed, what they've confessed to, how they confessed, and if it aligns with what they themselves said and thought.
In such circumstances, two scenarios arise: the first is total silence, a rarity that maybe happens once every three to five years. The other scenario is talking excessively, with nothing to hide, revealing everything.
