Compassionate Justice: The Press, The Public, and The Presumption of Innocence
October 13 @ 12:30 pm - 2:30 pm
Brian Greenspan
Criminal Defence Lawyer
The Press, The Public and The Presumption of Innocence
The presumption of innocence is said to run like a ‘golden thread’ through our criminal law. Yet, in practice, that cornerstone of our justice system has been challenged and attacked by the media, social media and politicians. Brian Greenspan has dedicated his professional life as a criminal defence lawyer to the protection and preservation of the presumption of innocence. Having served as counsel in many significant cases, he has profoundly affected the development of our criminal law and practice.
