Plot Synopsis

Each half-hour episode of TRIAL FILE chronicles a single case, using archive footage and courtroom scenes -- from the tearful testimonies to the dramatic verdicts. The season opener focused on Texas v. Amber Guyger, the high profile case where an off duty police officer entered the wrong apartment and fatally shot Botham Jean. Subsequent episodes feature these cases: FL v. Mark Sievers, who was accused of hiring his best friend to murder his wife; SC v. Timothy Jones, who caused the death of all five of his children after disciplining one of them; OH v. Lindsay Partin, who was charged with murder after a child she was babysitting sustained a fatal head injury; and more.
