suppressed evidence
Concealed courtroom material
Suppressed evidence is information deliberately withheld or hidden, typically in legal or investigative contexts.
A prosecutor who fails to disclose evidence favorable to the defendant commits a serious violation: The conviction was overturned due to suppressed evidence.
In logic, the suppressed evidence fallacy occurs when someone ignores relevant information that would undermine their argument.
The phrase implies intentional concealment rather than accidental omission.
