The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I mean - can they do that? There are rules governing materials seized in a criminal investigation. They can't just publish everything.


You likely know more than any of us here in that regard. I would assume that once the prosecution is over, everything is fair game (except names of victims, especially if they were minors). But maybe that's wrong.

"Aha! Those are the records I need to see." Especially when the stuff that is disclosed is just stuff like copies of billing statements from his landscaping company and unsolicited credit card offers.

Which is why you release it all. It's the problem of the people demanding it to sift through it, credit card offers and all. Though I suppose they could complain it's a tactic to hide the evidence in plain sight. Isn't there a legal thing where in discovery you just dump everything on opposing counsel? And hope they are so overwhelmed that they miss stuff?**



**That doesn't always work. Opposing counsel in the Alex Jones case found the phone/SMS records among all the other crap, and that destroyed Jones. So it may be a calculated risk. Or Jones' counsel was incompetent.
