1. People v. DaileyNow viewing2002-06-161h10.0The first episode chronicles the trial of John Dailey, who is accused of murdering his wife. Many witnesses attest to the fact that Dailey had often spoken about graphically killing her, but there was no body for evidence. The prosecutor was able to sway the jury through intelligent remarks and stong witnesses. John Dailey was given a sentence of 25 years to life in jail.
2. People v. Jones2002-06-231hDeputy District Attorney Garry Haehnle prosecutes Marshall Jones, a father accused of suffocating his 4-month-old son and burying the body in a shallow grave in the woods. Attempting to pass the murder off as an unfortunate accident, the defense paints the picture of a loving father who made one bad decision, which Haehnle must disprove in the eyes of the jury.

3. People v. Vasquez2002-06-301hA man is tried for murder in the first degree. He had supposedly stabbed his girlfriend out of jealousy. However, the intent that the prosecutor describes does not match up with the lustful insanity that the defense describes. After credible witnesses help the case, Vasquez is sentenced. During the sentencing, Vasquez and his brother attack the prosecutor (Lindberg) and they both are given extended jail sentences.
4. People v. Sanabria2002-07-071hA man is tried for the rape of a woman. What would seem like an easy case, difficulties appear because the victim had been inebriated and may have not been fully aware of her actions.

5. People v. Curry2002-07-141hA girlfriend of a gang member is found dead from a bullet behind a dumpster. With a minimal amount of evidence and a difficult judge, it becomes difficult for the District Attorney to convince the jury that the murderer was the victim's boyfriend.

7. People v. Taitano2002-07-281hA girl who had been kidnapped and abused within her own apartment complex comes to the stand to give her attacker a prison sentence. Difficulties arise when the both parties admit to a candy exchange on more than one instance. Given the fact that Taitano's roommate had a record of child abuse, the defense tries to persuade a jury that the roommate had been the perpetrator in the incident. Despite a believable plea, the defense does not sway the jury...fully.
