Against Exclusion (Except to Protect Truth or Prevent Privacy Violations)

Amar, Akhil
Abstract
The title of this Panel is a question: "What Belongs in a Criminal Trial?" Now if my mother, who is not a lawyer, asked me what belongs in a criminal trial, I would look her in the eye and say, "Mom, the truth." And if my brother, who is a lawyer, asked me what belongs in a criminal trial, I would say, ''Vik, reliable evidence subject to true privacy privileges"-a more elaborate answer, but the same basic idea.
