Because the appellant's statement and the Brief Facts were admitted under section 65C, the magistrate was bound by those admissions and could not properly draw adverse inferences beyond them; the magistrate had therefore been 'shackled' by the admissions, mens rea as denied in the appellant's statement had to be accepted, and the conviction could not stand.
