This talk explores how media coverage, public opinion, and online narratives can shape perception long before legal outcomes are reached. Drawing from firsthand experience navigating a nationally covered criminal case that ended in acquittal, Cole Goldberg discusses the psychological impact of public scrutiny, the pressure defendants face within the legal system, and the importance of preserving due process in the digital age.
The conversation also examines the role social media, headlines, and viral commentary play in influencing reputations, jury pools, and long-term identity. Audiences leave with a deeper understanding of how quickly public perception can overtake facts — and why the principle of “innocent until proven guilty” matters now more than ever.
