Apparently, there were many — maybe hundreds — of Sworn Affidavits from eye witnesses and whistle blowers that were admitted in to evidence, taken under the risk of perjury. Apparently, Sworn Affidavits really mean nothing.
Didn’t see it, because didn’t look for it, because it didn’t exist so I didn’t look for it and thus I didn’t see it because it didn’t exist.
Affidavits in themselves are not admissible evidence in a trial. Lake’s attorney didn’t call any of the affiants to testify, so they were effectively worthless.
