Episode #158: Monthly Mood - Rush to Judgment/Court of Public Opinion

For our July Monthly Mood, we explore how the rush to judgment can derail investigations, taint juries, and destroy lives, even when the facts are incomplete or misunderstood. We will also touch on the growing influence of the "court of public opinion"—where viral headlines, social media posts, and armchair detectives often shape public perception of guilt or innocence long before a courtroom ever does. From high-profile cases to true crime obsessions. If you've ever followed a crime story online and felt sure you knew what happened, this episode asks you to pause and think again.
