Abstract
The article examines the profound impact of social media on the criminal justice system, highlighting how digital platforms influence everything from investigations to jury selection and trial proceedings. It discusses the dual role of social media as both a tool for law enforcement and a source of misinformation, illustrating cases where online activity has led to arrests or derailed trials. The authors emphasize the ethical responsibilities of lawyers in navigating this landscape, particularly regarding public perception and the disproportionate effects on marginalized communities. Ultimately, the article underscores the necessity for legal professionals to adapt their strategies in response to the evolving dynamics of justice in the digital age. [Extracted from the article]
