ABSTRACT True crime series have had a recent revival following the release of season 1 of the popular podcast Serial, and the Netflix documentary Making a Murderer. These series have been previously studied for how their popularity was derived from taking back legal narratives from institutional gatekeepers, from ‘jurifying’ the audience, and because of the ‘ecosystem’ of online fandom. But little seems to have been written about how the series use techniques of forensic rhetoric to draw in audiences. This article aims to evaluate the two series through the prism of law and literature, and explores the oft-overlooked relationship between forensic rhetoric and literature. It concludes that narrative provides a link between rational and emotional ‘proofs’ in the true crime series.

文学法证修辞：《连载与谋杀案》中的地图，情感同意和修辞空间

摘要真正的犯罪系列最近在流行的播客连续剧第一季和Netflix的纪录片《谋杀案》上映后得到了复兴。以前已经研究过这些系列的受欢迎程度，这些原因是如何取回机构看门人的法律叙述，“使观众兴奋”以及在线拥护者的“生态系统”。但是关于该系列如何使用法医修辞技巧吸引观众的报道似乎很少。本文旨在通过法律和文学的角度来评估这两个系列，并探讨法医修辞与文学之间经常被忽视的关系。结论是，叙事为真实犯罪系列中的理性和情感“证明”提供了联系。
