      You left out “the prosecution will intentionally spoil their case” or something like it but I think you got all the big ones. I’m sure we could brainstorm up a few dozen more ways they could ruin the case intentionally along the way so as to prevent justice, but I’m tired and I don’t want to give the other side any hints
