His statements can be used against him in a criminal trial, so yes.
Statements by another person generally cannot be used against him unless that person is brought into court, put under oath, and his lawyers get a chance to cross-examine the person.
That is called the hearsay rule. That rule does not apply to statements made by the defendant.
