I& #39;ve not watched it. I won& #39;t watch it. But, I& #39;ve seen an unsettling shift in the public conscious where ppl have abandoned the "innocent until proven guilty" in favor of "guilty until proven innocent" which is really dangerous. https://twitter.com/hankgreen/status/1246927262881943552">https://twitter.com/hankgreen...
I think all of these True Crime shows, movies, documentaries, & podcasts play a big part in this, too. B/c a lot of them, especially the podcasts, present themselves as regular ppl, no law degree or anything, solving the case. Often "solving" an unsolved case.
Cases that are unsolved b/c their might not be enough tangible evidence to convict. But, the general public, the people who eat up these True Crime entertainment entities, are ready to convict & lock away someone on mere circumstantial evidence. Or even no evidence just a "vibe"
Someone makes an accusation against someone, & everyone is like "OH MY GOD Can you believe so & so did THAT" even though nothing& #39;s been proven. They don& #39;t want the trial. They want the conviction. B/c a trial might prove them wrong.
It sends a chill down my spine everytime someone says, without actually saying the words, that someone is guilty until proven innocent.
I don& #39;t even know if this thread makes sense. But. Yeah. I wonder if @hankgreen will actually read this thread that& #39;s in response to his tweet.
