Episode description

The #MeToo movement made it so that victims would automatically have overwhelming public support. But even with public sympathy on their side, Anthony Rapp’s own lawyers had to deal with the fact that many of his memories about Kevin Spacey could not have physically happened.

Anthony Rapps’s memory was wrong about so many things his lawyers did the only thing they could: appeal to the jury’s sympathy. But as the trial went on Spacey’s lawyers confronted him with objective facts, chipping away at “his truth” with every question. Was Rapp telling the truth or was he, as Spacey's lawyers argued, a troubled youth who harbored extreme resentment and jealousy against the actor? Listen as we reveal the truth about the Trial of Kevin Spacey using actual court transcripts.
