In episode 5, Trial By Social Media, we ask is online public shaming a necessary outlet to allow people to seek some form of justice, when traditional legal channels have failed them? 

Or is it a dangerous return to uncivilised witch hunting? Is there a risk to your presumption of innocence? Could the guilty get off by not being able to receive a fair trial?

Should mobs of people, often reacting online to nothing more than the headlines, have a say in shouting for some form of justice?

Those questions and more are asked in the latest episode, Trial By Social Media.
