The Court of Public Opinion by Rebecca Rose

Outside the courthouse steps, the guilty walks free and the innocent is carted away as we see the aftermath of the two verdicts through the public's perception. Not bound by facts presented indoors but instead governed by gut emotion, the collective response to sentencing explodes. The uproars, the exaltations, the influence of universal support or shared dismay. Everyone has their opinion and aren't afraid to show it. This is the true jury of your peers.
