Federal courts bar evidence obtained by coercion. The law regarding military commissions that Obama signed in 2009 forbids evidence derived from torture and other harsh interrogation techniques, but the commissions still have rules that allow greater use of hearsay testimony and, in some instances, could permit the introduction of coerced testimony.Civilian cases are required to have full disclosure of court documents, court proceedings, search warrants, and evidence. The prosecutors are permitted to speak openly with the press about civilian cases. In military cases, restrictions to the public are placed on all types of documents and evidence pertaining to the case. Judges are given the power to deny the public's access to military cases if it protects the rights of the accused. Prosecutors must gain permission from the judge to speak to the press. The 911 attack is a classic war crime — the mass murder of civilians — for which military tribunals have traditionally been used. |
