The Case for Disciplined Thinking | Kaysi Fagan | TEDxYYC

Our digital world has enabled the public to act as judge, jury and executioner in relation to anyone accused of a crime. In this talk, criminal defence lawyer Kaysi Fagan explores the distortion of the concept of guilt and why we are better off choosing disciplined thought over default judgment. Kaysi Fagan is an award-winning lawyer, educator and public speaker. She is the only practicing Criminal Defence Lawyer in Canada with three law degrees (including two Masters) from three different countries. She has appeared in every level of Court in Canada, including the Supreme Court of Canada. She has taught the course ‘Advanced Criminal Law’ at the University of Calgary, Faculty of Law since 2018. She is a published author and has appeared as a legal expert in multiple episodes of a popular American true crime series. Kaysi was formerly based at the headquarters of the International Police (INTERPOL) in France. Prior to that she was a fire fighter who competed internationally in the World Championships and she attained her black prajiet (belt) in Muay Thai in 2012. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

Every time I watch a ted talk video it feels like that it's the most urgent and important issue in life to work on.

Every netizen should watch this! Ppl nowadays just believe whatever one media text tells them and judge someone straight away without even doing any research! They pretend they have high morals by cyber bullying. They are actually doing so much harm!

One of the critical counter-intuitives of Default To Prosecution, which comes from an instinct to see the guilty punished, is if it leads to a wrongful indictment, THE GUILTY GO FREE.
