The logic used to explain the faults in the judicial paradigms we rely on in our society was extremely interesting in Reel Time/Real Justice, and very telling of not only the racism it allowed for in the case of Rodney King but also how it extends into todays legal landscape. The most poignant case made was the narrative nature of legal proceedings, which according to the ideologies explained in this piece are approached outside of racial contexts, allowing for the aforementioned narratives to imply individual suspicion without the inclusion of the overt racial prejudices from which these suspicions are born. The piece illustrates that the evidence that makes up these narratives is always up for interpretation and deconstruction, and that this malleability makes for a legal process that resembles the political sphere in which those reliant on its infallibility are instead subject to the stories born out of their situation and the subsequent marketability of said narratives. That is to say, given the racist societal views prevalent during Rodney Kings time, it was easy to take obvious evidence suggesting racially charged police aggression and sell it as an angry and defensive black man, and all it took was the legal re structuring of the narrative. The same way that selling a scared white cop protecting himself from a black thug is easier to sell to certain juries than a racist killer.
