If it does go to court, would explaining to the jury how half the nation's personal data is leaked twice a month be allowed? Or is this one of those truths that society is not allowed to acknowledge?

I would imagine it would be probative for the defense to bring in evidence of every data breach containing her name and ssn. I don’t think pointing out how common these data leaks are generally would be of direct evidentiary value to the case, though.
