Just remember, when someone waits until after the death of any person to make an accusation, they are denying that person their Sixth Amendment rights.
It also means that they are denied a fair trial following the basic legal concept of innocent until proven guilty – to which I would add – and the accusers are placed under oath so if they perjure themselves with false testimony they can be punished.
so as you watch speculative youtubes or read social media posts – ask yourself, why is this person being denied their 6th Amendment right to face their accuser:
Amendment VI
In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the state and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense.
I think I know what you’re getting at here, and you’re correct.
Also, in a hypothetical criminal trial you’d be allowed to submit evidence to the court that would hopefully create reasonable doubt in the minds of a jury. For example, old US customs records and other evidence proving that the defendant was overseas on the night of his alleged involvement in the murder. Or verified internal business records proving that the defendant was working (and had an alibi) on the night of his alleged involvement in the murder.
Naturally, the deceased cannot be indicted, so this is all hypothetical.
