Fake Law by The Secret Barrister

A clear, punchy critique of how myths and misleading rhetoric about the criminal justice system distort public understanding and threaten basic legal protections, explaining in plain language how presumptions, burdens of proof, plea bargaining, legal aid and prosecutorial discretion actually work; it shows how politicians, media and soundbites turn technical safeguards into scapegoats like “loopholes” and “technicalities,” and argues that cuts to legal services and acceptance of simplistic narratives erode the rule of law and fairness unless the public becomes better informed and more vigilant.
