About this episode

Jeremy Boreing discusses the contrasting nature of traditional trials and the trial of public opinion shaped by social media.

Two trials are running in America right now. One is in a Fourth District courtroom in Provo, Utah, where prosecutors have spent months building the case against Tyler Robinson the hard way — eyewitness testimony, hours of security footage, forensic reports, DNA, handwriting on a shell casing, a .30-06 rifle. Slow, methodical, adversarial, and bound by rules. The accused is presumed innocent. The evidence has to survive cross-examination. The other trial is happening behind a podcast microphone. It has no judge, no jury, no burden of proof, and no standard for what counts as evidence.
