Video Evidence in Alleged State School 'Fight Club' Case Dismissed

To read the whole story, click on the title of this post above. Here is the synopsis: The judge in one of the cases against a staff member involved in the Corpus Christie Fight Club case has ruled that the video evidence is inadmissible because it could not be proven that the defendant had intentionally abandoned the property.

This is why I would make a particularly bad lawyer. I have a hard time distinguishing between what is law and what is fair. For sure they don't always go together, but for some reason I always seem to think they should. Who cares how is was obtained? It doesn't change how wrong the actions were or that a crime was committed.

The judge did not rule that the evidence could not be used against the other defendants, so it will be interesting to see what happens when this issue comes up in their cases.
