Abstract
This article stems from a debate topic assigned by an English professor, which led to the exploration of media trials. A media trial refers to the process by which media influences public opinion before a verdict is delivered. Media has shaped public opinion before verdicts are delivered. It affects the legal system. Arguments in favor and against media trials, the need for regulation, and a perspective on the issue are explained briefly in this article.
