How can social media posts be used as evidence in criminal cases?

People are so silly.

So have you ever had a client that maybe has something semi-incriminating on their social media and they're like, okay, we need to go delete this, but then it's too late?

Yeah.

Well, I mean, you can always use the IP address as well.

That's true.

Is deleting social media content after an arrest considered obstruction?

Oh, how often do criminal cases typically go to trial?

And can you ever suggest that it go to trial?

Oh, not very often.

Not very often.

So is that why so many of them make mainstream media?

Because like these crazy cases, you know, whoa, I'm trying to think of...

the one that Lindsay and I just talked about, the cult in Appalachia with the shootings and things like that, like those big, big cases, like is that why they get such big coverage?

one worst case for sure why not i definitely for i mean it's very different for entertainment law but she will be pretty straight up with me about you know i think you have a good case or maybe we shouldn't push this you know what i mean yeah and so i i can always appreciate that because uh you know so many attorneys could be like no but we should do it and then they're getting all the litigation hours that are billable you know what i mean so totally there are certain lawyers and attorneys that i'm sure would would do it for the hourly you know yeah but

I mean, I don't know if I would.

I feel like I would like to be in the courtroom, so I would be, like, wanting to litigate everything.

Yeah.

it's pretty common, at least where I practice.

So what do you mean by just like a flat rate?
