Question

1. Steve Bennedik, Going back a few years, the British public decided Louise Woodward had to be innocent purely on the basis that she was British and “didn’t look like she could’ve done it” whereas now certain members of the public believe Kate McCann to be guilty because she looks “cold” or “not maternal enough”. To what extent do you think the media influences the general public’s judgement about an individual’s innocence or guilt in cases like this and is this influence (one way or the other) intentional?
