Liars in Court
Every profession has trained, certified members that should not be allowed in that profession,
because they will always use their position to damage others. That's who they are.
In fact, some people seek a profession that allows them to abuse others.
Lying to someone or about them is the easiest way to harm others.
And some people just love to harm others.
Being lied to...discourages people and makes them withdraw.
So many people are lied to in the course of 'justice', in various degrees, by different players.
This piece is about false statements/accusations in the courtroom, whether it be from:* Defendants, claiming they had no hand in the crime. (This doesn't mean that one can't protest the type of charges filed against them. Some charges are inappropriate to the crime).
* Defendant Families, who insist their suspected relative is innocent.
They interfere in investigations and even thwart valid confessions - to avoid family shame.
The suspect's children also can fail at this. It is so tough - on even adult children
when a parent is accused of a crime, especially when the victim is the other parent.
* Prosecutors that use unsustainable information from jailhouse snitches
to bolster an otherwise un-win-able case.
*Law enforcement officials that plant evidence or give false testimony.
My neighbor-county in 2006, had an engineered, wrongful conviction because a crooked CSI investigator planted evidence. This behavior caused the murder conviction of two innocent men. He must have wanted the glory for the arrest. He went to prison. Good.
And I'm concerned that it's legal for police to lie during criminal investigations.
I also think it's possible to inappropriately interrogate minors and the mentally sub-sufficient.
It's a terrible thing - when innocent people can't feel safe around law enforcement.
Liars are unsafe to be around.
*Judges allowing or disallowing evidence or testimony that hurt the innocent or help the guilty,
(this includes refusing to hearing cases, according to the wishes of political leaders).
(this includes refusing to hearing cases, according to the wishes of political leaders).
This is avoiding truth, which is the purpose of the trial.
Aren't judges also supposed to submit to 'the whole truth' principle?
And look at the disparity in decisions from judge to judge.
This seems to violate the principle of judicial continuity inferred by 'due process'.
September 2024: I just watched a crime show where the jury refused to convict someone that seemed obviously guilty. The jurors said they could not convict on the evidence that the prosecution was allowed to present. 'The whole truth...' ???
*Defense lawyers that lie to juries.
- Some lawyers use 'malicious defense', accusing other people of the crime to create reasonable doubt for their clients. They slander others to free their own clients.
- defense lawyers that introduce 'mitigating factors' into the sentencing-phase of the trial, when they earlier claimed that their client was innocent. The guilty should have to
claim-the-crime before they are allowed to plead 'mitigating factors'.
When a defense lawyer offers mitigating circumstances for an offence after a conviction.
The Judge should say:
"So, in pleading mitigating circumstances to this offense,
the defendant admits guilt to the crime
and is exempted from appealing a wrongful conviction, eh?"
- I become quite agitated when normally-active older defendants appear in court in wheelchairs. And when young defendants who normally dress scruffily - appear in court wearing suits or in hair ribbons. This is so insulting. Their courtroom dress should resemble their personal dress code at the time of their arrest. Courtroom costuming is deceit.
-defense lawyers also do a lot of victim-bashing. When inaccurate, this is inexcusable.
That both prosecutors and defense attorneys have the right to 'preemptory challenge';
denying a juror without having to state a reason.
I think this maneuver should be called 'preemptory prejudice'.
Hunches should not stop the seating of a juror,
since real justice is fueled by verifiable facts, not by phantom hunches.
*Wives who accuse husbands of abuse toward themselves or the children, to get a favorable ruling in divorce or custody matters, or even when they are on trial for killing their husbands.
* Husbands on trial for murder who claim their wives were depressed just before her death
and actually, committed suicide.
*Juries: Jurors can be bought or threatened - or go into a trial with a mesireh-mentality.
*********************************************************************************************
*Polygraph tests. Just kidding. Polygraph tests are generally not allowed in court
for these tests are not even 90% accurate, and a 10% false-conviction rate is unacceptable.
A 10% false conviction rate means that 10% of cases are closed with the wrong person in prison and the true perp not being looked for - on the loose, able to repeat those crimes.
A suspect does no one any favors by taking a polygraph test.
I have seen video samples of suspects receiving polygraph tests administered by police.
Some of the polygraph test administrators were horribly bully-ish to the people wired-in.
If polygraph tests were accurate, and done correctly, the test administrator would use never use his tone of voice to intimidate the person taking the test. Such emotion shows a blatant attempt to manipulate the outcome of the test.
9-21-24:
I just watch an episode of a crime show, where a suspect cleared a polygraph test,
yet the police still wanted to believe he was part of his wife's murder.
So, there you go. Police don't always want to believe polygraph tests.

But let us not despair for complete closure.
Jesus is in charge of the Judgment Day
He knows how every crime went down and who all was involved.
Victims will rise up from the dead and speak against their assailants, as will God's angels.
The Judgement Day deals with all liars.
This is why I talk about lies in the courtroom, so people will repent and do what is right -
and avoid the greatest judicial wrath possible - God's wrath toward liars.
And God practices complete inclusivity on this issue. He allows no excuses.
He will quote the lies word-for-word spoken in courtrooms throughout history.
And the allowances of the US Constitution will dissolve
before the requirements of the New Testament.

Old Testament guidelines for justice.
Old Testament rules for finding someone guilty:
Deuteronomy 19: (Old Testament)
"15 One witness is not enough to convict anyone accused of any crime or offense they may
have committed. A matter must be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.
******************* False Witnesses*******************************************
16 If a malicious witness takes the stand to accuse someone of a crime,
17 the two people involved in the dispute must stand in the presence of the Lord
before the priests and the judges who are in office at the time.
18 The judges must make a thorough investigation, and if the witness proves to be a liar,
giving false testimony against a fellow Israelite,
19 then do to the false witness as that witness intended to do to the other party.
You must purge the evil from among you.
20 The rest of the people will hear of this and be afraid,
and never again will such an evil thing be done among you.
21 Show no pity: life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot."
(Note: In modern times, I consider DNA and GSR evidence, video and cell phone records
and other verifiable scientific data as 'witnesses'.) But not polygraph tests.
Revelation 21: (New Testament)
"6 He (Jesus) said to me (John): “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega,
the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give water without cost
from the spring of the water of life.
7 Those who are victorious will inherit all this,
and I will be their God and they will be my children.
8 But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral,
those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—
they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur.
This is the second death.”
I believe, though neither Jesus nor the Apostles directly addressed this in the New Testament,
that when one person falsely accuses another person of a crime, and never confesses and repents, the punishment is transferred to that false accuser in eternity...
“God is not a man, that He should lie,
Nor a son of man, that He should repent.
Has He said, and will He not do?
Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?"
Deuteronomy 19: (Old Testament)
"15 One witness is not enough to convict anyone accused of any crime or offense they may
have committed. A matter must be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.

You see, God cares for people, but He hates - hates - hates lies.
What draws people to the judicial systemas professionals?
Some people are drawn into the professional judicial orbit because of childhood trauma.
We know many people are drawn into the medical professional because of family illness.
Likewise, many are drawn into the judicial profession because...
...their families were victims of crime, and they want to make the world a safer place,
or... because older relatives were offenders and they desperately want to prove that the judicial system is rigged, so they can think better of a convicted relative.
I'm sure that many defense lawyers have this kind of background.
Another type of person drawn into the judicial orbit are mental health professionals
who testify about certain matters in court.
Some percent of them were themselves raised by mentally-ill people.
Too often, the children of mentally ill people enter psychology and psychiatric studies
trying to understand the very bad behavior of their relatives,
looking for organic reasons to explain the horrible childhoods they had to endure.
And on the witness stand, I suspect mental illness is regularly pleaded, instead of evil,
even when a diagnosis of personal evil is more appropriate.
Is evil even recognized as a cause of bad behavior in the DSM-5 ?

September 2024:
Chief Counsel for New Yor Mayor Eric Adams has resigned
amidst Federal probes into the Mayor's office.
Is she an innocent bystander trying to separate herself from alleged wrongdoings,
or was she one of the foxes guarding the chicken coop?
Lawyers should never do anything illegal.
This, this, this ... is why
America has the right, even the obligation
to distrust our judicial system
and all the human components thereof.
If she is guilty ... all that hard work just for the opportunity to suffer such shame?
LIARS IN COURT
Officers of the Court & the Judgment Day
We often say that everyone has to answer to God on the Judgment Day.
When Officers of the Court have to answer to God for how they conducted themselves,
God's first line of evidence will be the very words that they have spoken in Court.
The excuses of these Officers of the court will be drowned out
by their own words that they spoke to the jurors -
unless they have appropriately confessed and repented of their judicial machinations
before God and mankind.
Amen. So be it.

Mitigating circumstances
Another point on mitigating circumstances ...
When a defendant has been convicted of a crime,
then pleads past sexual abuse as a mitigating circumstance,
the court should verify that the defendant has named their abuser
and proper investigations was made into these matters,
for two reasons:
1) First to make sure this is not a ruse to deflect justice.
2) To use this as an opportunity to pursue sexual abuse
that has been swept under the rug,
which allows the abuser to continue to hunt for and prey on other victims.
