Following up on the sad case of Louis Conradt Jr. (previous posts here and here), this extraordinary Douglas McCollam/Columbia Journalism Review article entitled The Shame Game examines the big game hunting of alleged sexual predators in America and the big money that the entertainment industry is making off of it.
This is a harrowing tale and not one with easy answers, particularly with regard to the difficulty of defending alleged predators in the criminal justice system. But a truly civil society would sort these issues out in a far different manner than what is currently taking place on NBC’s Dateline. Hat tip to Norm Pattis for the link to the article.
