I Rest My Case
I Rest My Case is a hard-hitting new podcast series that explores the world’s most intriguing true crime cases, hosted by two distinguished British and American criminal defence attorneys, Jonathan Goldberg KC and Dean Strang. Dean Strang is most famous as a key defence attorney for Steven Avery in Netflix's Making A Murderer. Jonathan Goldberg KC is one of the UK's leading trial advocates and defenders. He has defended in over a hundred murder trials and defended many high-profile defendants, from the infamous Charlie Kray to the innocent Marine A. From the headline-making cases of Jeffrey Epstein and Kevin Spacey to history’s most fascinating trials, Jonathan and Dean will shine light into the dark crevices of famous trials. Weaving fascinating personal anecdotes from their illustrious careers in criminal law on both sides of the Atlantic, Jonathan and Dean take listeners behind the curtain to reveal stories of their most unpleasant (and pleasant) criminal clients, the roots of the British and American justice systems, and why these systems so often get it wrong.
