How reliable is the internet for factual reports about the people, places, and events that might influence a juror’s decision to convict? Is Facebook or Twitter a valid source to form an opinion about the truthfulness of a witness or the honesty of a victim? Should videos posted on YouTube by or about a police officer serve as a basis for evaluating his/her testimony? Does belonging to a group or “liking” a gun club, animal rights organization, political party, or pro-abortion group worthy of consideration in a search for justice? Are blogs, websites, wikis or search engines like Google unbiased sources of news and information? (CJUS 330)
