Episode 93: Trials, TikTok & the Danger of Playing Internet Detective

In this episode of The Lawmas Podcast, Lauren and Lacey continue their discussion of the Lindsay Clancy trial, this time focusing on some of the legal issues viewers may not fully understand. They explain the difference between treating physicians and expert witnesses, why certain arguments happen outside the presence of the jury, and how jury instructions could ultimately play a major role in the verdict. They also discuss the influence of social media on high-profile trials, including the potential legal consequences of publicly accusing someone of a crime without evidence and whether a jury in a case like this should be sequestered. Before wrapping up, Lacey shares a frustrating courtroom experience involving a bench warrant, plus a story about being mistaken for a college student's mom.
