- JOHNNY DEPP V. AMBER HEARD (Sept. 8):
Hollywood star Johnny Depp's career suffered after his ex-wife Amber Heard wrote an op-ed claiming to be a victim of sexual violence. What followed was a civil trial that captured the attention of the public as Depp and Heard exposed their tumultuous relationship in front of the jury and the world. - THE SNAKE FARM MURDER (Sept. 15): During a quiet summer evening in 2017, a woman dials 911 to report her husband is dead on the floor of his snake breeding facility. Lynlee Renick claims she has no idea who shot and killed 29-year-old Ben Renick, world-renowned snake breeder and father of two. After four years of twists, turns and secrets revealed, Lynlee Renick goes to trial and Court TV's cameras are there for her testimony and a surprising sentence.
- A CLOWN AT THE DOOR (Sept. 22): A clown carrying balloons and a basket of flowers shot and killed Marlene Warren when she opened her front door in 1990. Even though police suspected Warren's ex-husband and his then-girlfriend, it would take decades to make an arrest.
- CHAOS IN
KENOSHA (Sept. 29): Kyle Rittenhouse shot and killed two people and maimed a third during a Black Lives Matter protest inKenosha, Wisconsin . The 17-year-old, armed with an AR-15, claimed he acted in self-defense because he feared for his life. His dramatic trial and acquittal captured the attention of the world. Court TV takes a closer look at this important case. - THE KILLING OF AHMAUD ARBERY (Oct. 6): Ahmad Arbery was out jogging when three white men assumed he was a burglar, chased him down and shot him multiple times. Cellphone video captured by Arbery's assailants proved to the jury that these men were not the heroes they claimed to be.
- THE PROSECUTION OF ALEC BALDWIN (Oct. 13): A-list actor Alec Baldwin was rehearsing a scene for his Western film "Rust" when cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was shot and killed. Who loaded the live round in the prop gun? And are actors responsible for what happens when the crew tells them the prop gun is safe? This case was filled with unexpected moments as Alec Baldwin's involuntary manslaughter trial came to a dramatic conclusion.
