For fun, I recommend opening the SEC's case against SBF [1] and searching "tweet" and "television." They are building their case every time he opens his mouth.

This is why if you ever find yourself in any kind of serious legal matter, take your lawyer's advice and stop talking. It doesn't matter how smart you think you are. Prosecutors will use your words against you.

- breck 4y agoI agree that [dishonest] lawyers will twist your words against you. But I disagree with your advice to "stop talking". We need everyone to keep talking. We need to change the justice system. It needs to be more transparent, more honest, better at quickly getting to the truth. I don't necessarily know what the solutions are, but I am going through a court case Pro Se right now and have seen first hand what a cess pool it has become, and it makes me sad for our country, and we need to start fixing it. Keep talking SBF.
- phphphphp 4y agoA justice system will never be about the truth, because the truth does not bring justice: justice is a human attempt at realising what most would call karma. You do a bad thing, we try to make you suffer: the truth doesn't matter, because there's no absolute "good" and "bad" -- it's all perception. Lawyers are not truth seekers, they're playing a game, and to represent oneself in pursuit of the truth is a fools errand. I've served on a jury, I agree the modern model for justice is broken, but the problem is not an absence of truth, it's much more fundamental.
