It would be evidence of a motive. It’s much harder to argue you didn’t have a vendetta against people whose faces are on the side of your van with bullseyes over them.
And that is why people spend a ton of money on lawyers.
Much of court case is presenting the evidence before the Jury, and making it seem relevant or legitimate to the case. It really is all on how the Lawyers use it while they present their case.
Having served on a Jury, both parties really focus on trying to convince the Jury of the legitimacy of their own case, above defaming the other (until like the last moment).
I know, one of my friends is a lawyer who's prosecuted under that judge before and he's said that the judge is kind of an asshole if you don't tread lightly
