Phil speaks with Lauren Cassimatis, Criminal Lawyer and Founder of Gallant Law, about the rise of true crime in pop culture and its growing influence on the justice system.

Since the 2014 debut of Serial and 2015’s Making a Murderer, true crime has become a cultural staple.

In 2024, the Menendez Brothers’ case re-entered the spotlight with a hit series and a Netflix film, coinciding with news of their resentencing and possible parole. 

Lauren explores how, over the past decade, pop culture has increasingly shaped public interest and even legal outcomes — and what this means for the future of Australia’s justice system.
