What’s the point of even having any trials then? If you’re accused of something and it manages to get to court, just skip all that crazy time wasting defense stuff and right off to the firing squad with you! I mean, you’re obviously guilty right?
And this is exactly why other ongoing cases are, generally speaking, not admissible as evidence. Someone doing something bad once doesn’t mean that they did it twice. Multiple accusations doesn’t mean that they are guilty. Otherwise, a simple conspiracy to bring multiple charges at once would be absolutely damning to a defendant.
Also the pre-trial stuff is pretty much just to show that there was an applicable law that may have been broken. It has almost nothing to do with whether or not the defendant is guilty, liable, or otherwise found at fault.
Where there’s smoke there fire. If there was nothing these cases wouldn’t still be ongoing after years (at least one of them is 2+ years old). It would have been thrown out long ago.
These are civil suits, not criminal. You’re confusing the two.
I don’t think you know how lawsuits work. The plaintiff has to show the court there’s even a case to begin with.
There’s currently THREE separate lawsuits about this same issue.
It seems pretty likely they ARE doing it.

Civil suit. Not criminal. Learn the difference.
Stop being deliberately obtuse. The point stands.
