How Stupid Do You Have to Be to Admit a Felony on the Stand?

4/14/24 National Pulse:

"New York police took custody of an unlicensed firearm belonging to anti-Trump activist E. Jean Carroll following a report from The National Pulse.

"In January 2024, we reported that Carroll disclosed holding a firearm at her home during her defamation trial against former President Donald Trump. This revelation, according to a police report, led Warwick, New York police to visit Carroll’s residence on February 15 to address the weapon."

I am unclear how this came up in a defamation trial, but talk about dumb.  The TDS heroes are none too bright.
