From Amanda Knox to O.J., Casey Anthony to Kyle Rittenhouse, our
justice system faces scrutiny and pressure from the media and
public like never before. Can the bedrock of "innocent until proven
guilty" survive in what acclaimed Seattle attorney and legal
analyst Anne Bremner calls the age of judgement? When unscrupulous
Italian prosecutors waged an all-out war in the media and courtroom
to wrongly convict American exchange student Amanda Knox for a
murder she didn't commit, family and friends turned to renowned
Seattle attorney and media legal analyst Anne Bremner to help win
her freedom. The case was dubbed the "trial of the decade" and
would coincide with the explosion of social media and a new era of
trying cases in public as much as the courtroom. While Italian
prosecutors, the press, and online lynch mobs convicted Knox in the
court of public opinion, Bremner would draw upon her decades in the
courtroom and in front of the camera to turn the tide with a new
kind of defense in pursuit of justice. In Justice in the Age of
Judgement, Anne Bremner and Doug Bremner take us inside some of the
biggest cases of recent times and offer their expert,
thought-provoking insights and analysis as our legal system faces
unprecedented forces fighting to tip the scales of justice their
way. Why couldn't prosecutors convict O.J. Simpson despite all of
the evidence seemingly proving he killed his wife Nicole? Could a
jury remain unbiased in the face of overwhelming public pressure in
the trial of Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin for the
murder of George Floyd? Why was Kyle Rittenhouse exonerated after
shooting three people (killing two) with an assault rifle at a
violent rally despite widespread media reports seemingly proving
his guilt, and national calls for his conviction? Justice in the
Age of Judgement is an unparalleled and unflinching look at the
captivating cases tried on Twitter and TV, where the burden of
proof and fundamental legal tenet of "innocent until proven guilty"
is under assault from the court of public opinion.
