Answer 1

Because you csn know that someone is a criminal. Or a mob boss.

But in court, the judge don’t ask what yo know. The judge asks what you can prove.

You can know all the crimes the boss did. But if you can’t prove any of it, the boss walks.

And depending on the type of mob boss you might get invited over for dinner. On a little car ride.. Or to enjoy the view from a lovely tall building..
