For better or worse: How can the legal system be influenced by the court of public opinion? Insight explores this question with guests including Peter, a former mayor of Claremont who was named a person of interest in the Claremont Killings. Hedley, an award-winning true crime journalist and podcaster, pursued Chris Dawson in the global smash hit "Teacher’s Pet" podcast, which led to Dawson being found guilty and sentenced. Khalid, who served 13 years in prison for a murder he says he didn’t commit, believes the media played a positive role in efforts to prove his innocence and overturn his conviction. Colleen, the lead detective on the Peter Falconio murder case, frequently addressed the media in a case that captivated Australia. Finally, Peter, Bill Spedding, and Terrence Flowers’ lawyer, offers his perspective on the impact of media on legal proceedings.
