We've seen plenty of TV dramas where an innocent person inculpates
themself by seeking to hide evidence that might tend to make them look
guilty even though they're not.

Now, of course, they are TV dramas, not real life, but they raise the
question of whether someone could behave that way in reality.

How sure can we be that the accused in this case has not done that?

And remember, the task for the jury is to find guilt beyond reasonable
doubt.

I'm glad I'm not on that jury.

TV dramas & much else have brainwashed the populationinto false
expectations on almost everything.

That almost everything is overstated

Good people are attractive,
Bad people are ugly and sport all sorts of tics.
Everyone drives the latest cars, and all dwellings are spick and span,
containing wives with no blemishes.

And where was populism born?

If was around LONG before and TV drama or
even newspapers and even before the romans

True, but the degree is the point. Even kids are now plugged in with
their portable iGismos!

True, but the degree is the point.

It was MUCH worse in those days

They don't get to vote so that is irrelevant to popularism
