Today I had my first Probatory Law class of the year. Among the interesting things that I learned was the “Thesis of the poisoned tree”. According to this theory, evidence that is collected or is born under an illegal procedure it’s worthless inside the juridical process.
There’re plenty examples of this situation: for instance, a confession made to a fake priest (a police officer that’s cheating because of his duty to obtain information), or the confessions obtained by records of private conversations recorded without the duly authorization. These elements at least in the Venezuelan judicial system are forbidden.
Consequently, it’s obvious that all the supposed conspiracy theories that the government constantly states and tries to prove showing the records of conversations are totally illegal. Of course, there’s a long path that separates the law from reality, demonstrating that the tree thesis isn’t the only thing poisoned in our country.
