Due to a recent discussion, I'd like to propose some changes to the criminal code:

* Language added to specifically ensure that destroying, changing, removing, etc. evidence prior to a trial is criminal

* Language added to specifically list that any items, blocks, or other relevant entities relevant to a court case are included as evidence

* Language added that states destroying evidence is a separate crime from the original crime, and as such, the defendant can be tried for destroying evidence should the destruction of said evidence be discovered later and it can be proved without a doubt that they destroyed/removed/tampered with the evidence prior to the trial

I'll write the legislation after a few days of input from the community.

We should add in a clause requiring evidence that the destruction was performed maliciously. This prevents the accidental destruction of evidence by someone reasonably unaware of its status from being criminally prosecuted. In addition, we should require that all evidence that the prosecution and/or defense wants to use be declared in the thread where the charges are laid so that people know what to stay away from.

It also ensures the defense and prosecution are on equal footing when it comes to evidence.

I agree - the post on the Judicial Court should be seen as an arraignment of sorts. Thus, evidence needs to be presented to even determine if a case is to be made.

In terms of whether someone did something maliciously, that shouldn't be left up to any one person - after all, it's up to a jury in court to determine guilt.

Good thoughts here. Allow me a few hours more to post my own before drafting this? Much obliged.
