Y’all need to just stop it with voting machines USA. Pencil and paper is far more secure.
I’m not doubting that trump wasn’t elected, reality has a left-wing bias, but damn, what if voting machines are hacked, or have a backdoor built-in in the future.
If the consequence of destroying evidence is less than the consequence of being convicted of the crime that evidence supports, you destroy evidence. Simple economics.
Spoliation can be grounds for the judge to give the jury adverse inference instructions. i.e., the jury is allowed to assume that whatever was info was destroyed would have been damaging to the defendant’s case.
That’s irrelevant to my point, which was that destroying evidence in a trial with monetary damages can result in increased damages, instead of avoiding them.
If you’re still not getting it, you should reread the comment thread and to see the context for that example being used.
There will be no civil war if Trump wins, just a lot of injured or dead protesters. There will be National Guard and Federal Agents dispatched to hot zones to neutralize potential threats. Look at what happened in Portland. Unless you can take down a tank, you’re just a meat obstacle.
No, the judiciary is fully separate. The president might have influence over whether a case is prosecuted but Congress took direct control of the DOJ away from the presidency after Nixon abused those powers.
