Justice and the Internet: Facts First

Joe sits down with lawyer and author Anne Bremner to examine how justice is shaped in an era of social media, 24/7 news, and viral narratives. Anne explains why jurors and the public often form opinions before trials begin, drawing on cases from Amanda Knox to Rebecca Zahau. She argues that while the public wants to be part of the conversation, lawyers have a responsibility to keep facts clear, accessible, and unbiased. The discussion makes the case for transparency, fact-based communication, and open access—so opinions are grounded in reality rather than distortion.
