Castle Rock v. Gonzales: Do Police Have a Duty to Protect You? | Part 2

Castle Rock v. Gonzales: Do Police Have a Duty to Protect You? | Part 2

TW: Child Murder
Part 2 picks up exactly where we left Jessica. What happened that night — and everything she did afterward — would take her all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court and raise a question most people assume they already know the answer to: do police actually have to protect you, even when you have a court order in hand?

Nikita — an attorney herself — takes us through how the Court got there, what the justices actually decided, and the reasoning behind a ruling that still shapes what we expect from police today.

Then we widen the lens. We put Jessica's case next to Gabby Petito's, ask why an anonymous bomb threat can trigger more urgency than a documented, named danger, and come back to the question at the heart of this entire arc: when no one can know for certain what someone will do, who ends up paying for that uncertainty?
