| But an offer of compromise from an unauthorized person cannot amount to an admission of the party himself.[42] Although the Court has held in some cases that an attempt of the parents of the accused to settle the case is an implied admission of guilt,[43] we believe that the better rule is that for a compromise to amount to an implied admission of guilt, the accused should be present or at least had authorized the compromise. | |||||
