Episode Details

A few text messages can flip how the whole world reads a case. In this clip we get into how — and why it's not as simple as a screenshot.

Malcolm and Thomas break down the controversy around Karmelo Anthony's text messages and the bigger question underneath it: how much a text can actually tell you about someone's intent, and where evidence ends and assumption begins. From there they get into how social media takes a fragment like this and runs with it, shaping public perception long before anyone has the full picture. It's a lesson in reading evidence — and reading the internet — more carefully.
