    They’re not “smoking guns”. They’re evidence supporting a charge.

      He wasn’t “caught red handed” he was caught with a preponderance of evidence implicating him.

      You must be fun at parties. No duh it’s evidence. It’s cut and dry evidence of conspiracy, so compelling that it’s almost like he metaphorically killed someone and is standing over their dead body with a smoking gun. You didn’t see the gunshot, but you can be 99% sure of who the shooter was.

        Yeah - As a rule I don’t take legal advice from randos on Lemmy. So far it’s been a good rule.
