Murder trials capture Americans' attention like no other. It is the original reality TV. From the gruesome murder scene to the search for who is responsible, society is consumed with the process. For lawyers, it is a crowning achievement of the profession. It provides an orderly way to process and hold people responsible who committing these heinous acts. But does the process always work? Does the innocent get convicted? Do the guilty go free?
This CLE examines five true crimes, from the grisly details of the murder scene, to the decision to indict, to the trial, and finally, to the verdict. And in the process, this CLE puts the legal system on trial.
Speaker Joel Oster, Comedian at Law
