A project of Dico Verum.

Facets is a creative and analytical project that examines public narratives, one story at a time. Each piece reads a single case through the same six lenses, Framing, Archetypes, Collective Belief, Expectation, Themes, Symbolism. The stories change. The patterns do not.

It is published by Dico Verum, an advocacy organisation working across criminal justice reform, investigative media, and public-interest campaigning.

The work is investigative and editorial. It is not commentary. Every claim is sourced; every claim is traceable to a primary record, a piece of long-form journalism, or a piece of legal documentation. The Sources page lists them.
