Plot Synopsis

Peabody and Academy Award winning filmmakers Denis Poncet and Jean-Xavier de Lestrade present a revealing look at American justice in a documentary series set in the Las Vegas courts. This series opens a window onto a world that is only steps away from the famous strip, but rarely glimpsed from inside the casinos and mega-hotels populated by tourists: a world of drugs, gangs, depleted gamblers, and wayward club owners where what happens in Vegas stays deep inside the criminal justice system. The series travels with the public defenders' and district attorney's offices to track the criminal cases, moving from strategy sessions to witness interviews; from jailhouse meetings to courtroom proceedings. In the process, the series offers a fascinating portrait of crime and punishment in Las Vegas, the county seat of Clark County, Nevada.
