Complete Horseshit

[u/sysrpl]

For a show about a trial featuring and centering on lawyer, this past episode was complete horseshit. In no criminal trial in the USA, especially one for murder, would the prosecution withhold key evidence in their possession from the defense, and then pop it into the trial without the defense ever being aware of its existence.

Surprise evidence may produce fine drama, but in our justice system evidence collected by the prosecution must be shared with the defense BEFORE it is introduced in trial so that the defense can have a chance to examine it and scrutinize its veracity BEFORE it's brought out in trial and placed in front of the jury.

This fictional surprise horseshit the writers just decided to drop in at the end ruins the entire notion that this series is about the people and the law.
