When a verdict is rendered, it's not necessarily the end of the trial, as the appeals process can take a significant amount of time to go through the system. In this show, two investigators re-examine controversial murder cases in an attempt to help the families of the people convicted of the featured crimes find out if they should appeal or accept the verdict once and for all. In each episode, new developments in the case -- including additional witnesses and evidence -- help to either support the defendant's contention of innocence or point toward the guilty verdict being the correct one. Re-investigating the cases are defense attorney Fatima Silva and retired homicide detective Chris Anderson.
