Revisits some of the most powerful cases originally featured on The First 48 and features exclusive interviews with detectives, prosecutors, defense attorneys, and families of victims.
Tulsa detectives believe the victim of a shooting was a Good Samaritan who'd been robbed. But at trial, the jury must decide if his killer actually acted in fear of his own life.
Evidence at the crime scene leads detectives in Mobile to believe that a young victim was murdered by two gunmen. But a high-stakes trial leaves the jury wrestling with the question of whether one of the suspects could be found not guilty.
After a man is gunned down at an after-hours club, investigators and the prosecutor are left with no witnesses who are willing to say they saw the shooting. That leaves the case hanging on the defendant's claim of self-defence.
In Mobile, a woman in a volatile relationship is found dead in her car. Detectives suspect her boyfriend, but, at trial, he takes the stand to brazenly claim she was actually the victim of a drug deal gone bad.
A massive, gang-related melee outside a nightclub leaves Gwinnett County detectives struggling to identify just who shot a young murder victim. And the death of one of the witnesses makes that challenge even harder for prosecutors.
When a Mobile mother of four is shot just blocks from her home, detectives look to her loved ones to identify her killer. But, at trial, his attorneys claim he acted in self-defence.
In Mobile, a professor is murdered in his own home. It takes a missing gaming console and a strategic game of cat and mouse with the suspects for detectives and prosecutors to get justice.
When three people are gunned down in a Tulsa home, detectives face two suspects, and a web of lies. Prosecutors are left with circumstantial evidence to clinch the case against a calculated, cold-blooded killer.
When a transient man is gunned downed, the only eyewitness Mobile detectives have is also a suspect. At trial, reluctant witnesses, defendants pointing fingers at each other, and a surprise leaves a novice prosecutor struggling to clinch his case.
