Thread: at the same time or after?

Когда они поговорили, мистер Леннокс признал, что, возможно, есть небольшой шанс добиться оправдательного приговора...

In this sentence, мистер Леннокс "признал" occurred after они "поговорили" or мистер Леннокс "признал" occurred while они "поговорили" was in process?

not at the same time, it's after but can be immediately after that
Why do you read translated book if you know English?
