"True crime" is an increasingly popular genre of documentaries and podcasts, often reexamining the facts of a criminal trial and even leading to audiences calling for the reversal of convictions. Critics argue that these "true crime" programs often give audiences a misleading understanding of a case, as in the interest of creating compelling entertainment their editors make creative decisions that leave out important evidence and provide inaccurate accounts of events. These criticisms are irrelevant, however, for appreciating the true crime genre, which has not only entertained millions but given many of them a renewed interest in the field of criminal justice.
Which of the following principles, if valid, best justifies the reasoning above?
A. It is of the utmost importance for citizens to understand the criminal justice system as thoroughly as possible.
B. People convicted of crimes have a right to have their cases reexamined in the future so that new information can come to light.
C. Audial and visual entertainment is a form of free speech and its creators should be permitted to express themselves however they wish.
D. One's appreciation of a genre is not necessarily undermined by inaccurate accounts of real-world events.
E. Those who create art, regardless of genre, should be afforded the freedom to tell stories as they understand them.
