“It is well done, but I have some doubts about whether it is prudent to accuse someone of sexual misconduct based on events that allegedly happened decades ago. Research on memory shows that our memories are flawed and that, even if we believe we remember things correctly and are confident in our memories, that has nothing to do with whether we are actually remembering things correctly. Victims should be believed and I know research says that victims almost never file false reports, but I wonder about the slippery slope of people reporting their decades-old accounts to journalists and then the perpetrator’s name being published.
I know the host is trying to do some “research,” about the judge’s rulings, but she’s ill-equipped for this. Even if we know the judge’s rulings across time, we don’t know how they compare to any other judges across time and if those differences are meaningful. So yes, it’s well produced but I don’t think all the information should be taken as gospel.”
