Admissions are generally admissable in court. In the Federal Rules of Evidence, they are known as Admissions of a Party Opponent. In PA, we have adopted similar rules, although I don't know about CA. The reason for the rule is that the person who allegedly made the admission can testify and admit or deny them, but the trier of fact is allowed to hear them.
