The crew explores whether this age old idea of being innocent until proven guilty, which is probably the grounding principle in which we all want to relate to the law, is challenged by the way social media is being mobilized around issues like #metoo. For better or worse, is trial by media an effective way to empower a legal system that is at times arbitrary and slow to respond to serious issues of assault? Furthermore, if not by social media lynching, can more traditional forms of media "justice" seriously damage the lives of the innocent before they are even formally accused of anything?Some Time Markers: Reaction to the First Presidential Debate Of 2020 U.S. Election (02:24) Today’s topic (19:23) Trial by Media (25:00) Dave Chapelle’s analogy (42:19) Identity Reparative Reconstruction (54:27) Final remarks (1:24:46) Today’s question (1:27:33) Iyanu asks the listeners for help (1:37:40)Music: Hanto - "La Saison des Loups" Boom Bap Miles Ahead - Lounge Jazz | Vodovoz Music Productions--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/lasttrainpod/message
