San Jose Defends Falsified Evidence

[Verginius Rufus]

The Constitution forbids punishing a guilty person's offspring when the crime is treason: "no attainder of treason shall work corruption of blood, or forfeiture except during the life of the person attainted" (Art. III, Sec. 3).

I think what the previous poster meant was that the family would have to do without the assets--not the same thing as inflicting a penalty on innocent persons.

The fifth and sixth amendments have to do with people's rights when accused of a crime and brought to trial. Unfortunately Madison didn't include anything about the prosecutor or the witnesses for the prosecution having to be honest and truthful. Maybe there was already something to that effect in the common law.

Even more when I read about the cops in OC who were caught planting a gun at the scene of a crime and defended it as “a training exercise”.

Surely you don't expect rookie cops to know how to plant false evidence and then bear false witness to it in Court without someone showing them how. Do you?
