Is a conviction evidence of a future crime? No, it isn't.

It certainly doesn't help his case. If you have had troubles with the law prior to a new crime, it gets taken into consideration negatively by the judge. Same with cheaters. It means he is a cheater by definition and has the moral compass to cheat again.

It is zero evidence that Hans has ever cheated OTB, yeah.

Past criminal behavior is routinely admitted as evidence in court.

It's not proof, but it is evidence.

You're refusing to see this, by the way. You're capable of understanding what I said without me saying it.

This isn't a court, and it isn't criminal behavior. If it was a court and it was criminal behavior, we'd expect innocent until proven guilty and the benefit of the doubt. Which no one is giving Hans.

Is criminal activity as a minor used as evidence in Adult trials? I feel like that should hold less water
