False Evidence Legal Concerns

Summary

In Pennsylvania, using false evidence in legal proceedings is prohibited. If an attorney refuses to correct such evidence, a formal complaint can be filed with the Pennsylvania Disciplinary Board. Ignorance of the law is not a valid defense, and specific intent to deceive must be proven. For civil cases, if new evidence emerges after the appeal period, a Motion for Reconsideration based on Newly Discovered Evidence can be filed. This motion should include a request for a subpoena if necessary. Consider consulting with a legal professional for detailed guidance.

Mr. Raho you hold a legal obligation to correct yours and your clients " Tampering with or fabricating physical evidence.(*)  makes, presents or uses any record, document or thing knowing it to be false and with intent to mislead a public servant who is or may be engaged in such proceeding or investigation." youre client had the chance to not use evidence she knew to be false before the court date and a simple subpoena for the facebook messages between rylee riggs and tianna sherry for the entire month of november would more than prove this. I consider reasonable time to be 14 days before a complaint is filed with the disciplinary board. I have contacted and left a message for the attorney general on this matter already. thank you. Please do not reply unless to provide proof you have done as obligated and corrected this matter of false evidence having been used by yourself and your client. : reword this so it is professional

Dear Mr. Raho,
I am writing to inform you of a serious concern regarding the use of false evidence in the proceedings involving your client. According to Pennsylvania law, specifically the statute on tampering with or fabricating physical evidence, it is prohibited to make, present, or use any record, document, or thing knowing it to be false with the intent to mislead a public servant engaged in a proceeding or investigation.
It has come to my attention that your client had the opportunity to refrain from using evidence known to be false before the court date. A simple subpoena for the Facebook messages exchanged between Rylee Riggs and Tianna Sherry for the entire month of November would substantiate this claim.
I consider 14 days from the receipt of this message to be a reasonable timeframe for you to address and rectify this matter. Failure to do so will result in a formal complaint being filed with the disciplinary board. I have already contacted the Attorney General's office and left a message regarding this issue.
Please provide proof that you have taken the necessary steps to correct the use of false evidence by you and your client.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Cassie

To effectively present the argument against "I didn't know it was a crime," consider emphasizing the following points:
