Should'nt that just happen normally? permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 18 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 child) Yes. But there are no consequences so they will ignore the court order and destroy any and all evidence they can, just as they did for Renee Good’s killer, the murderer Jonathan Ross. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] fodor@lemmy.zip 1 point 6 months ago It's not quite that bad. Accessory after the fact for murder can result in the same sentence as the murder itself. So some of these ICE pigs, they could face life in prison if they have destroyed evidence poorly. Of course it depends on the details. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Bakkoda@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago* Law has never really accounted for bad faith actors from the prosecution side.
