This is the story of Lionel Tate, the youngest person ever to be sentenced to life without parole.
Lionel Tate was a 170-pound, 12-year-old boy who played rough one day with his friend, 48-pound, 6-year-old Tiffany Eunick. When Tiffany died from injuries, Lionel claimed that he only used wrestling holds that he'd seen on TV. But prosecutors charged Lionel with first-degree murder.
Would the jury believe that Tiffany died of innocent child's play--or would they put Lionel behind bars? Interviewees include defense attorney James Lewis, who used the controversial 'wrestling defense' strategy.

A&E sniffs out a rat in the one-hour American Justice: Spies -- Betraying a Nation. The two world wars produced a handful of well-known heroes famous for stealing the enemy's secrets. The advent of the Cold War made it necessary to continue with international espionage. But, with later conflict resolutions, Americans are less suspicious. That doesn't mean there aren't spies still lurking around. John Walker and Jerry Whitworth are two examples of modern-day moles. Together, they are responsible for the corruption of over one million encrypted messages. While Whitworth and Walker were informing the Russians, Jonathan Pollard was working for the Israeli government, handing over classified Naval information. His arrest cast a shadow on American relations with the struggling country. Even the CIA is not immune to betrayal. In 1994, special agent Aldrich Ames was convicted of treason for his compliance with the Soviet Union. A&E's analysis of these spy cases puts a new spin on an old trick

A bloody bridge was the opening act in a case highlighting the difficult issues surrounding sexual predators.
On November 13th, 1998, police in San Luis Obispo received calls about a large pool of blood on a local bridge. A few days later, Rachel Newhouse, a 20-year-old junior at a local college, was declared missing. And while DNA tests revealed that the blood on the bridge likely came from Rachel, there were no witnesses and no other clues--nothing to help the police further their investigation.
A few months later, however, another girl went missing, and their were signs of abduction in her apartment.
AMERICAN JUSTICE® reveals how parole officer David Zarragoza became suspicious about the possible involvement of one of his parolees, Rex Allen Krebs, who had attacked and raped women in their homes 11 years earlier. After bringing him in for questioning, police found that Krebs had sought counseling for his violent sexual tendencies while in prison, but he had not qualified for the program. They also found evidence linking Krebs to the two attacks, and he confessed to his involvement in an interview with DA investigator Larry Hobson.
THE MONSTER INSIDE examines the controversy surrounding the Krebs case, including the fact that he was sentenced to death despite the fact that he demonstrated remorse, actively sought counseling, and been severely abused as a child.

Unprecedented access to the unfolding case of a man trying to avoid being convicted of killing his girlfriend--again.
Filmed with unprecedented access to the key figures in the case.
Watch every step in the tense trial.
A riveting look inside one of the most fraught aspects of the justice system.
Evan Zimmerman was accused of murdering his ex-girlfriend, and a jury found him guilty. But Zimmerman made it back to court after he was able to show that his initial lawyer was so ineffective he deserved a new trial.
FACING LIFE captures the harrowing experience as the new trial unfolds. From the defense team's strategizing to the 11th-hour moves and the shattering conclusion, see how the tortuous process affected Zimmerman, who was nearly driven insane by the thought of going to prison again for a crime he said he did not commit.
