Joseph Neuberger, Diana Davison, and Amy discuss how digital evidence, complainant social media posts, withdrawn charges, online reputational damage, and careful statement analysis can dramatically affect sexual assault and domestic allegation cases. From removing outdated police and media posts after charges are withdrawn, to finding inconsistencies across complainant statements, to warning young lawyers about overreliance on AI for cross-examination, this episode is a sharp, funny, and practical look at courtroom strategy, wrongful accusations, defence preparation, and the human skill required to tell the right story in court.
