Summary

In Justice in the Age of Judgement, Anne Bremner and Doug Bremner take us inside some of the biggest cases of recent times and offers her 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。

“This was not a case being tried in a fair and impartial courtroom。 It was being tried in the media”As a true crime fan this was something I was really looking forward to。 Anne Bremner has so much knowledge & she writes with such clarity that I found myself literally devouring this book。 From Amanda Knox, OJ Simpson right up to George Floyd。 True crime fans now have an insight into how the media has influenced some of the biggest cases in American criminal history。 This is not a book about guilt “This was not a case being tried in a fair and impartial courtroom。 It was being tried in the media”As a true crime fan this was something I was really looking forward to。 Anne Bremner has so much knowledge & she writes with such clarity that I found myself literally devouring this book。 From Amanda Knox, OJ Simpson right up to George Floyd。 True crime fans now have an insight into how the media has influenced some of the biggest cases in American criminal history。 This is not a book about guilt, it is about the media’s scrutiny of those accused & the judgements we, the consumers, make based on the back of that。 Informative and an area of particular interest to me。 I enjoyed this however, it is long so brace yourself。 Thank you to NetGalley, Anne Bremner & to Skyhorse publishing for the chance to read this ARC in exchange for a review。 。。。more
