Tova:
Which is why I observed that the scenario was unlikely.

Except it's not.
Look at Monday's comic. Faye is clearly holding the phone in her right hand, but the closeups show the phone in her left. Mirroring would only work inside the video, not on the hand holding the device outside of its screen.

"Looked that way to the court" is kinda the key point.
She gave the police a confession voluntarily and without prompting. Even in the cases of police misconduct, coercion still has to be demonstrated to a judge to a reasonable degree to exclude the confession.
Corpse Witch would still have to prove that she was tortured by Spooky.
Is it cold in here?:
Roko sounded suspicious to me about the eagerness of CW's confession.
Corpse Witch might be thinking Robot Jail was a mistake, but she has no way to protect herself from Arrogant Architeuthis. A restraining order would not work :-)

It is, actually...
Edit: I couldn't originally work out whether, "Except it's not" was "it" was referring to. But now I think this was saying, "It's not mirrored." And actually, that is correct. I've made a post about this further down.

Okay, that continuity error was created days after my post.
But it's very clear in #4285, in the very first panel for example, that the video is mirrored. That's all I was saying.
I think Jeph has made the mistake of making the closeups identical to the mirrored video.
