In episode 166 of Not on Record, hosts Joseph and Michael delve into a law school-style hypothetical involving a trial with a crucial audio or video recording that's difficult to understand due to accents or unclear articulation. The core issue arises when the judge, after submissions, privately re-examines the recording and arrives at a different conclusion than what was presented, without informing counsel. During trial a trial judge made several errors, including a sweeping generalization about an arranged marriage and misinterpreting "slept" as "slapped," deeming it a Freudian slip. The hosts emphasize that an accused person has the right to know the case they must meet and the evidence being used against them.
