The pursuit of justice can be impacted by the smallest detail. “American Justice” from A&E explores recent compelling criminal cases, from those that made national headlines to gripping lesser-known cases, through the prism of our justice system. Driven by first-hand perspectives of loved ones, survivors, investigators, prosecutors, defense attorneys, jurors, and sometimes even the perpetrators, the series dives into significant crimes that reveal how our justice system works, and, sometimes, how it doesn’t. One of the original true crime documentary series, “American Justice” originally aired for 13 years on A&E.
The case of Merry Pease, a Virginia woman accused of orchestrating her husband’s murder in rural Appalachia. Through dramatic reenactments, witness testimony, and courtroom footage, American Justice explores her troubled marriage, alleged motives, and the community’s divided opinions, ultimately questioning whether justice was truly served in this gripping case.
