Bonus - A Free Press and Fair Trial with Brett from The Prosecutors Podcast on Michael Ely's Just Legal History

The Silver Linings Handbook

In this bonus episode, Jayson joins Michael Ely on his podcast and YouTube channel, Just Legal History. They are also joined by Brett from The Prosecutor's Podcast to have a discussion on the free press and a fair trial. In this discussion, they talk about the idea of how do we balance the first amendment right to a free press and for the public to know the actions of their government and protect freedoms at the same time protecting a defendant's right to a fair trial. Explore all sorts of things from yellow journalism, current cases that exist, the expansion of social media and how it's impacted the way that the criminal justice system is covered and the importance of the free press to our democracy, our freedoms and our ability to actually have fair trials.
