À propos de cet audio

I Rest My Case is a hard-hitting new podcast series that explores the world’s most intriguing true crime cases, hosted by two distinguished British and American criminal defence attorneys, Jonathan Goldberg KC and Dean Strang.



Dean Strang is most famous as a key defence attorney for Steven Avery in Netflix's Making A Murderer. Jonathan Goldberg KC is one of the UK's leading trial advocates and defenders. He has defended in over a hundred murder trials and defended many high-profile defendants, from the infamous Charlie Kray to the innocent Marine A.



From the headline-making cases of Jeffrey Epstein and Kevin Spacey to history’s most fascinating trials, Jonathan and Dean will shine light into the dark crevices of famous trials. Weaving fascinating personal anecdotes from their illustrious careers in criminal law on both sides of the Atlantic, Jonathan and Dean take listeners behind the curtain to reveal stories of their most unpleasant (and pleasant) criminal clients, the roots of the British and American justice systems, and why these systems so often get it wrong.

    The trial of Oscar Pistorius: What Makes for a Murder?
    Jan 22 2026

    A gripping dissection of the Oscar Pistorius murder trial, this episode of I Rest My Case sees Jonathan Goldberg KC and Dean Strang unpack how a global sporting icon became the focus of one of South Africa’s most sensational court cases. Tracing events from the fatal shooting of Reeva Steenkamp on Valentine’s Day 2013 through the original trial, appeals, and ultimate sentence, they explore South Africa’s unique blend of legal traditions, its judge-only system, and the fine gradations of “intentional murder” under South African law. Along the way, they debate the impact of televised proceedings, the role of celebrity, policing failures, restorative justice, and whether the trial judge was too lenient, before turning back to the human cost of the case and the life Reeva Steenkamp never got to live.

  • Prince Harry

    Prince Harry
    Jan 15 2026

    This week, Dean Strang and Jonathan Goldberg KC turn their attention to a single, remarkably litigious royal: Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex.

    Drawing on seven different lawsuits Harry has launched since around 2018, they explore how his invasion of privacy and libel claims against the UK tabloids collide with a fast‑evolving law of privacy built by British judges over the last two decades.​ Dean and Jonathan break down the fundamentals of defamation and libel on both sides of the Atlantic, explain why the burden of proving truth falls on defendants in England, and contrast that with the higher bar public figures face in the United States. They also discuss Harry’s separate challenge to the British government over the withdrawal of his full security while in the UK, using that case to expose the knotty mix of human rights, public expenditure, and post‑royal status. Whether you come for the royal drama or the legal doctrine, this conversation offers a clear, vivid tour through the modern law of privacy and reputation.
