“More and more commonly, the government prosecutes cases based upon ‘secret evidence’ that they don’t show to the defendant … or sometimes even the judge hearing the case. The government uses ‘secret evidence’ to spy on Americans, prosecute leaking or terrorism charges (even against U.S. soldiers) and even assassinate people. And see this and this. Secret witnesses are being used in some cases. And sometimes lawyers are not even allowed to read their own briefs. Indeed, even the laws themselves are now starting to be kept secret. And it’s about to get a lot worse.”
