| book description |

From Amanda Knox to O.J., Casey Anthony to Kyle Rittenhouse, our justice system faces scrutiny and pressure from the media and public like never before.Â Can the bedrock of â€œinnocent until proven guiltyâ€ survive in what acclaimed Seattle attorney and legal analyst Anne Bremner calls the age of judgement?Â Â When unscrupulous Italian prosecutors waged an all-out war in the media and courtroom to wrongly convict American exchange student Amanda Knox for a murder she didnâ€™t commit, family and friends turned to renowned Seattle attorney and media legal analyst Anne Bremner to help win her freedom. The case was dubbed the â€œtrial of the decadeâ€ and would coincide with the explosion of social media and a new era of trying cases in public as much as the courtroom.Â While Italian prosecutors, the press, and online lynch mobs convicted Knox in the court of public opinion, Bremner would draw upon her decades in the courtroom and in front of the camera to turn the tide with a new kind of defense in pursuit of justice. InÂ Justice in the Age of Judgement, Anne Bremner and Doug Bremner take us inside some of the biggest cases of recent times and offerÂ their expert, thought-provoking insights and analysis as our legal system faces unprecedented forces fighting to tip the scales of justice their way. Why couldnâ€™t prosecutors convict O.J. Simpson despite all of the evidence seemingly proving he killed his wife Nicole?Â Could a jury remain unbiased in the face of overwhelming public pressure in the trial of Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin for the murder of George Floyd?Â Why was Kyle Rittenhouse exonerated after shooting three people (killing two) with an assault rifle at a violent rally despite widespread media reports seemingly proving his guilt, and national calls for his conviction? Justice in the Age of JudgementÂ is an unparalleled and unflinching look at the captivating cases tried on Twitter and TV, where the burden of proof and fundamental legal tenet of â€œinnocent until proven guiltyâ€ is under assault from the court of public opinion.
