In this episode of Legal Judg(e)ments, host Bob Stetson is joined by attorney Christian Kiely to talk about a groundbreaking defamation case that explores the murky intersection of true crime storytelling and legal accountability. When Netflix’s documentary on the college admissions scandal painted an allegedly misleading portrait of John and Johnny Wilson, the family fought back, suing the media giant for defamation. Christian Kiely, who represents the Wilsons, discusses this high-stakes litigation’s legal strategies and implications. From the role of selective editing to the responsibilities of filmmakers in portraying real-life events, Bob and Christian discuss how the portrayal of facts can shape public perception and potentially harm reputations.
