Conclusion: Justice Swimming Up the Stream
摘要
This chapter provides the conclusion to the book, explaining the intersection of wrongful conviction advocacy and the rise of streaming true crime media. It explores how digital platforms have transformed the visibility of innocence narratives, offering both opportunities for public engagement and risks of commodification. While streaming services have amplified stories of injustice and fostered participatory justice communities, they also risk simplifying complex legal realities and re-traumatising exonerees. The chapter argues that true justice requires sustained advocacy beyond media attention, emphasising the need for ethical storytelling, institutional reform, and vigilance in the face of evolving technologies. Streaming can raise awareness, but dedicated legal and activist efforts must drive systemic change.
