When Social Media Meets Crime: The Sarah Grace Patrick Case

A teenage girl has been accused of murder—five months after her mother and stepfather were found shot to death in their home. The twist? She’d been posting TikToks about the case, even asking true crime creators to cover it, before anyone knew she was a suspect.

Her name is Sarah Grace Patrick, she’s 17, she’s being tried as an adult, and this case is about to test everything from Georgia’s juvenile law to the boundaries of social media and self-incrimination.

🎙️ Welcome to the Layman’s Law School Podcast!

Where legal talk meets Southern charm, humor, and straight-shooting insight. We’re a team of Georgia trial lawyers breaking down the legal news headlines, untangling personal injury law, and sharing real courtroom stories—without the confusing legalese.

NOTE TO OUR VIEWERS

The attorneys of Layman’s Law School are full-time trial lawyers who break down high-profile cases to make legal concepts accessible. While we aim for thorough discussions, we’re not full-time YouTubers, and our busy legal schedules mean we may not cover every single detail of a case.

We do our best to stay objective, but as with any real conversation, opinions may surface. We welcome thoughtful comments that add to the discussion, especially if there are updates we haven’t covered yet. Thanks for watching, and we appreciate the engagement—just keep it civil!
