How has it been covered
Media analysis
The rest of this site deals with the medical, statistical and legal evidence. This section deals with something different: how the case has been framed — through image choices, headline framing, and editorial selection — and how that framing shapes what the public believes about it.

Editorial note
Analyses here are the work of third-party commentators. We summarise them in our own words, attribute them to their creators where known, link to the originals, and make no claim that a framing issue we feature proves anything about the underlying conviction. Framing is a separate and compatible concern with the evidence.
