No, deleting something from your phone doesn't actually delete it. That's just one of the criminal law myths former prosecutors T.L. Kearney, Tim, and Justin break down in this episode of Now We Defend.
They pick up right where they left off a few weeks ago, working through even more myths they hear constantly from clients and from people online. This episode covers what actually happens to deleted texts, images, and internet activity, whether you really have to answer police questions, and why smart people (not just guilty people) ask for a lawyer.
They also unpack plea deals, why no honest attorney will ever guarantee a trial outcome, who actually carries the burden of proof at trial, and the real difference between a not guilty verdict and being found innocent. T.L. closes out the episode with a personal story about a scary roadside encounter that ties directly back to their self-defense episode.
