Are You Not Entertained? Unraveling the Legal Complexities of Reality Crime Shows
Partner Nina Marino spoke at the 2024 Ninth Circuit Judicial Conference. The fascination with true crime programs and podcasts that explore real-life cases of murder, corruption, fraud, and other crimes has become a phenomenon.
This program explored:
-Pre-broadcast and production considerations for producers and writers, including potential legal issues related to defamation, invasion of privacy, and access to or use of records.
-Legal threats and cases or controversies concerning issues federal judges may face, whether because the content generates civil cases or spurs prosecutions.
-The impact of these programs and reporting on those outside of the creators and audiences, such as prosecutors, juries, victims, and the media.
Found in Addresses, Nina Marino.
