What Is Obstruction Of Justice?
In essence, any attempt to hinder the conviction or discovery of an individual who has committed a crime can fall under the category of the obstruction of justice. This refers to many different crimes, from verbal threats to physical destruction of evidence.
Examples of obstruction of justice include:
- Bribery of a public official/judge
- Witness intimidation/tampering
- Threats
- Evidence tampering
- Retaliation against a witness/informant
Intentions of those who commit this crime are also broad. For some, the intent may be to delay or prevent evidence and for others it may be to evade a subpoena. As long as justice is obstructed, charges may be filed.
