In "The Class That Cried Wolf," public defender Jacquelyn takes on a harrowing child abuse case—one with seven separate charges, each relying heavily on the way detectives questioned young children involved. The prosecution's case is strong in number, but weak in method.

Jacquelyn zeroes in on interview techniques: how questions are phrased, how suggestive prompts can taint memories, and how authority figures can unintentionally lead answers. Through calm cross‑examination, expert insights, and a readiness to hold the state accountable, she shows how flawed technique can dismantle what looks like a sure conviction.

This episode underscores the power of defense attorneys who refuse to let method be ignored, who fight for truth when victims, systems, and assumptions collide—and who secure justice by refusing to accept "everyone did things the wrong way."
