Reasonable Doubt 5
Channel: Investigation Discovery (DStv 171 / StarSat 223)
TX Time: 21h50
Genre: True Crime, Documentary Series
With anguished pleas from prisoners proclaiming their innocence, families across the US are tormented with an excruciating question: is their convicted loved one truly guilty or are they innocent serving unjust time behind bars?
On a mission to uncover the truth behind these potential judicial missteps, retired homicide detective Chris Anderson and criminal defence attorney Fatima Silva team up once again with open minds and objective lenses to piece together the puzzling facts.
The two pore through evidence, interview key witnesses and consult previously overlooked experts to reveal the unbiased truth and ensure the right person is behind bars for the crime committed.
Each episode culminates in an emotional reckoning with reality as Chris and Fatima either provide the families hope for an appeal, or the crushing reality that their loved one is rightfully convicted of murder.
In the Season 5 premiere, "Guiltless or Heartless?": Respected California probation officer Rodney Patrick McNeal gets a life sentence for murdering his pregnant wife in a fit of rage.
With limited physical evidence, the conviction has never sat well with his family who are convinced McNeal was wrongfully convicted.
In a desperate, last-ditch appeal, McNeal's daughter and sister have asked Chris and Fatima to take a second look at the case to see whether McNeal is an innocent man doing time for someone else or whether he is right where he belongs.
Additional investigations this season include the case of Laverne Fields, a woman convicted by a jury for murdering her husband as he lay in bed, despite her children insisting that he had died by suicide.
There's also Joel Atkin, in a 2009 fateful wrong turn that led to a petty argument and spur of self-defence that leaves one man dead and Atkin behind bars.
Russell Holbrook, convicted of murdering Melissa Howard after a 10-year investigation, is fighting to reclaim his innocence.
There's also the case of Garrett Arrowood, convicted of killing his aunt during a robbery gone wrong despite the family insisting that two con men were involved.
