Text: The court is populated by ghosts, ghost prosecutors, defense attorneys, judges. Nothing to lose, no memories or allegiances, impossible to threaten. It’s my job to figure out how to bribe one.

Surprise evidence isn't actually a thing that's allowed in American courts. Both sides are given the opportunity to know of, and verify, evidence.

This also gives both sides a chance to prepare arguments, speak to relevant parties, prepare expert testimony, etc.

Someone having the perfect evidence in their coat pocket is a contradiction, because that's not been accepted as evidence yet. There is a process. The other side must be made aware of it, and given a chance to consider its validity.

Being so far as in the courtroom, and trying to present something unknown on the spot, is essentially withholding evidence. It's not something you're supposed to do outside of taking dramatic liberties in fiction.

That evidence can probably still be presented, but not on the spot. There is a process.

If criticizing courtroom procedure, people shouldn't rely on what they've seen in fiction. It is inaccurate 99% of the time. They should learn about actual courtroom procedure.

It can even be fun! Did you know if a lawyer walks in the wrong place, a bailiff can tackle them?

Coming up with new ideas for a different-actors/same-plot situation is an impossible task. Every once and a while something or someone that’s not politics-as-usual appears and some new metaphors pop…

The courtroom is the judge. A medium sits on the bench and cedes control, eyes growing black, shadow growing long. The courtroom has seen everything. It is supposed to be incorruptible.
