Mexican here, in my country these type of "evidences" are harder to support / enforce, as long as your lawyer / you are willing to provide enough scientific indication they're not reliable, those evidences are dismissed.

Of course, as any country, there's corruption at every level.

Wonder what's the stance of other countries?

Often these types of evidences are used to get the subject to confess or agree to a plea deal.

(In other words, they're often used "when we know you did it" kind of things.)

The justice industry isn't very pretty, best not to look too closely at it.

I’ve heard the Mexican legal system has really strong rights for defendants. So strong, it’s hard to prosecute corrupt officials.
