People have faked letters and documents for centuries. I’m not a lawyer, but don’t courts have a way of weighting the trustworthiness of a piece of evidence?

In Mr. Musks case, there are many witnesses who observed him making the statements that are shown in the video.
- johndhi 3y agoInterestingly, actually, the "way of weighting the trustworthiness of a piece of evidence" is generally not the job of the court, but of the jury. Assuming the evidence is admissible (meets some minimum standards), the court system is premised on a jury of peers looking at something and deciding if they think it's true or not (such as the testimony of a witness).
