Quote:I'm no lawyer, but could someone explain why in a court system, any evidence (especially something like a video) could be rejected?
if it's inflammatory they can. in other words, if a video shows evidence, but also footage that would cause the jury to form negative opinions about the defendant, and that prejudice outweighs the probative value of the evidence, it can be rejected.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
