On a stirring and powerful episode of After Hours AM/The Criminal Code Radio — True Crime every Wednesday 9-11pE with hosts Joel Sturgis, Eric Olsen and secret weapon, forensic psychologist Dr. Clarissa Cole — we dig into new Investigation Discovery show REASONABLE DOUBT with series stars detective Chris Anderson and defense attorney Melissa Lewkowicz. We speak with Chris and Melissa in the 10pE hour; at 9pE, Clarissa leads us through the week’s top True Crime news and the controversy over teen suicide show 13 REASONS WHY.
A single question haunts every convicted murderer’s family: did they really do it? Investigation Discovery’s new series REASONABLE DOUBT details the gut-wrenching process of reopening a closed case to evaluate findings and either offer the convicted’s family hope for an appeal, or confirm the dark truth that their loved one really is guilty of the heinous crime of murder.
To uncover the truth, two determined investigators approach these controversial cases from disparate perspectives. Chris Anderson, a retired homicide detective, uses his years of streetwise investigative experience to track down witnesses, examine crime scenes, and confront the convicted one-on-one. Defense attorney Melissa Lewkowicz scours every detail of the trial and questions anyone who testified, or should have. The two dive headfirst into cases, often uncovering shocking evidence previously overlooked by police – or barred by the court – to help discover if justice was served to the victim and their families.
REASONABLE DOUBT premiered April 26 and runs Wednesdays at 10/9c on Investigation Discovery for ten intense episodes.
