“that might help establish her guilt”

It isn’t the courts job to ensure a guilty verdict. It is to ensure a fair trial. One of those responsbilities is to ensure any evidence for which there is no context should never be shown to the jury.

I never said it was the courts job to ensure a guilty verdict, it also isn’t the courts job to exclude evidence that might actually convict the defendant, as long as the evidence isn’t contrived or faked.
