SERIES TRAILER
Each episode will have you entranced. I think it’s a neat series and each episode is different on it’s own. I do however, worry about the families involved. It has to be hard no matter if your family member is exonerated or the family of the victim, has to relive everything all over again. I would say it is a hard spot to be in, but in the end justice is served. I honestly think that is what makes it worth it. If something happened to me and the case was never solved, I would be glad that someone on the internet decided to make it their mission to solve my crime.
