Trial By Media is a true crime podcast by some of the only full time crime reporters in the UK. Once a case closes journalists are free to reveal juicy details we couldn’t give you at the time. So this is the full story on how the weirdest, boldest and most dangerous criminals are treated by the courts and the press. Having been in the room where it happened we ask what went on, what went wrong, and whether justice was done.
