It's a quarian custom that the captain of the accused should stand for her. She couldn't say anything even if she wanted to.
Also, Rael'Zorah is dead. He doesn't matter anymore. If he was alive, I would agree with you, but he is dead, so it's not like he can be arrested and punished for what he did.
I think keeping the quarian society stable is more important than post-humously exiling him.
Tali obviously doesn't have a great deal of respect for quarian law, or she wouldn't conceal evidence of war crimes. So a breach of etiquette in a trial shouldn't be a stretch for her. And everyone seems to be basing the 'rightness' of the decision to conceal the evidence on maintaining the stability of the quarian government. First, it's impossible to know beforehand that revealing the evidence—doing the RIGHT thing, no matter what BioWare's Kool-Aid drinking writers say—will 'destabilize' the quarian government to the extent that it does in the game before it happens. I didn't see a crystal ball on the Alarei. Second of all, Shepard could have asked to speak privately with the Admirals and revealed the evidence to them outside of a public tribunal. It may have had the same result, but the fact remains that in order to get the 'good' result from a metagame standpoint, you have to LIE. I don't like that, and I don't like that Tali pushes for it, and I don't like that she's actually applauded for putting her devotion to her father's memory ahead of telling the TRUTH. It's PERJURY. And it's perjury in a trial when she herself is on trial for TREASON. In the real world, Shepard could be locked up for years for going along with these shenanigans. But the writers and the Tali fanbase just think "oh, the poor girl, she's been through so much." Well, yeah, she lost her father, but some quarian child lost his mommy on the Alarei thanks to Tali's dear old dad. Where's the sympathy for that kid?

Tali says it likely will, and you should have reason to beleive her as she understands quarians better than you, as a human, do.
"Second of all, Shepard could have asked to speak privately with the
Admirals and revealed the evidence to them outside of a public tribunal."
You're assuming they would entertain the idea. Koris tried to throw you out saying that, as a human, you had no right to represent her. Their actions weren't based on reason, that much is clear. You cannot reasonably assume that they would allow this because they are being totally unpredictable. Even Shala'Raan had to hide the fact that Tali's father was likely dead just to ensure the impact to Tali was clearly visible. Why did Shala have to do that when, clearly, the Admiralty are a very reasonable group of people? That question is rhetorical.
"

You don't have to lie, it is entirely your choice. It is pretty clear to most people that best choice is to keep the evidence to yourself for the reasons explained earlier by several of us. Bioware thinks you are wrong, and Shepard at that point, has all the evidence he needs to make an informed decision about whether to reveal it or not.
