"I Rest My Case" dives into the dramatic trials of literary genius Oscar Wilde, triggered by a explosive libel accusation from the Marquess of Queensberry labeling him a "posing sodomite."​ Dean Strang, and Jonathan Goldberg KC, unpack Wilde's three rapid-fire courtroom battles—from his ill-fated criminal libel suit against Queensberry, to two devastating gross indecency prosecutions that ended in a two-year hard labor sentence. They spotlight legendary cross-examinations by Sir Edward Carson, Wilde's risky "feasting with panthers" lifestyle amid Victorian hypocrisy, and contrasts with modern cases like Kevin Spacey.
