The Glitched Gavel: Justice, Out of Sync. Every landmark trial ends with the strike of a gavel—but what happens when the echoes of that strike never fade? We like to think of the law as a finished product, but our legal history is full of glitches: outdated precedents, eccentric judges, and bizarre verdicts that have quietly shaped the world you live in today. In each episode, we reopen the files on history’s most famous trials—from the Salem Witch Trials to the Scopes Monkey Trial—to find the "code" that still runs in the background of our modern lives. Whether it’s how a 19th-century murder case dictates your digital privacy or why a prohibition-era ruling affects your paycheck, The Glitched Gavel proves that the past isn’t just behind us—it’s ruling us.
