7-8pm -- AMERICAN JUSTICE® - Marijuana and Murder
The 1988 Anti-Drug Abuse Act, enacted by the
Reagan administration, stiffened sentencing so
that drug dealers who ordered killings were
subject to the death penalty. The first person
convicted and sentenced to death under this law,
however, was not a mafia don or kingpin, but a
small-town marijuana dealer from Piedmont. 

Re-examine this landmark case from the day police
found the remains of Marlin Shuler in an Alabama
whiskey through Clinton's last day in office when
he commuted Chandler's death sentence to life
without parole. Legal experts re-evaluate the
merits, including questionable witness testimony,
as prosecution and defense attorneys and
Chandler, himself, recall this highly politicized
case.

8-9pm -- BIOGRAPHY® - Jeffrey Dahmer
Profile of the serial killer who cannibalized his
victims and was later murdered in prison.
Interviews include Dahmer's stepmother, high
school friends, prosecutor E. Michael McCann, and
defense attorney Gerald Boyle.

9-10pm -- AMERICAN JUSTICE® - Mail Order Murder 
It was an unconventional love story, at best.
Russian teenager Anastasia Solovieva had the
looks of a model, a vivacious personality and a
thirst for education and adventure. Through a
mail order bride catalog, she was courted in late
1997 by Indle Gifford King, Jr., a middle-aged
man in Seattle with crumbling finances and a
failed marriage. Within months, Anastasia left
her parents in Kyrgyzstan for what she hoped
would be a bright new future in America. However,
Indle's and Anastasia's union would be
short-lived, fraught with deception, charges of
spousal abuse, adultery - and murder. 


AMERICAN JUSTICE: MAIL ORDER MURDER reports that
in 2000, Daniel Larson, a convicted child
molester, led police to Anastasia's body in a
shallow grave. Larson implicated both himself and
Indle King in the crime. King's motive, according
to Larson, was that he had been fleeced by his
first Russian wife, and he was determined not to
let the second one do the same. At his trial,
Indle King became the state's best witness
against himself through his contradictory
testimony. He was convicted of murder and
sentenced to the maximum in Washington state -
just under 29 years.

10-11pm -- Take This Job... - Vital Signs
Follow a 2-person Oklahoma City team of Organ

ill people, including a 9-year-old boy. The
episode builds to a moving final scene when the
donor's parents meet the recipients who, out of
their daughter's tragedy, have been given another
chance for life.

was murdered at his farm with a single bullet to
the head. Investigators reveal what they found at

7-8pm -- AMERICAN JUSTICE® - Vigilante Dad
On May 17, 1995, the Binghams were brutally
murdered. Ron Bingham was shot 23 times at close
range while his wife Linda took six bullets in
her back. A short while later, Ken Attasmith, a
former sheriff, turned himself into the police. 


Claiming that the Binghams had repeatedly raped
and abused his teenaged daughter, the police told
him that they were already aware of these
allegations and urged him to "return to his cop
roots" and investigate the Binghams himself. In
court, his defense team put forth a little-used
self-defense statute. But the prosecution
depicted Attasmith as a deadbeat dad who had
snorted uppers on the day of the murder. Rape,
revenge, murder and courtroom drama make this a
landmark case of vigilante justice.

Texas 
A drug ambush went bad, and a Texas Ranger was
killed in the line of duty. Now for the first
time, more than a quarter of a century after the
shooting, the man convicted of the crime speaks
out on national television. 


AMERICAN JUSTICE: DON'T MESS WITH TEXAS examines
the 1978 drug raid that ended with two lives
tragically altered forever. Texas Ranger Bob
Doherty died of a gunshot wound, the first Ranger
to be killed in the line of duty in 47 years.
Greg Ott, a university philosophy student, was
arrested for the murder. Now Greg Ott tells
AMERICAN JUSTICE his side of the story. Viewers
learn that it was a botched raid and that the
Ranger's death was a terrible accident. Greg
thought he was being robbed and never even saw
the Ranger who was shot through a closed door.
Since being sentenced to life in prison, Greg has
been a model inmate who has twice been approved
for parole. But both times his parole was revoked
after Texas Rangers flooded the parole board with
protest letters. Today, a former warden, dozens
of prison guards, and even the man who prosecuted
Greg feel he should be released. His case poses
the questions: Has Greg been punished enough for
his crime? Or is there never enough punishment
for killing a police officer regardless of the
circumstances?

7-8pm -- AMERICAN JUSTICE® - Crib Death?
In August, 1987 in Rockville, Maryland, a
five-month-old infant mysteriously died in his
crib. The death was ruled Sudden Infant Death
Syndrome, or SIDS, a medical term coined in the
1960s to refer to the inexplicable, natural death
of an infant during the first six months of life.



When Missy Anastasi learned that her baby had
died of SIDS, she was told it was a classic case.
Nonetheless, she later claimed that she had grown
to suspect that her husband murdered their baby,
upon learning that his daughter from a previous
marriage had also supposedly died of SIDS. But
Missy did not approach authorities until they
were divorced, and he'd remarried. Was this the
sad tale of a woman scorned or the chilling story
of a cold-blooded child-killer?

9-10pm -- AMERICAN JUSTICE® - Mistaken Identity 
In the spring of 1997, 16-year-old Terence Garner

was convicted on the basis of eyewitness
testimony. Just days after the conviction, a
person with the similar sounding name of Terrance
confessed to the crime. 


AMERICAN JUSTICE: MISTAKEN IDENTITY reports that
the ordeal began when three men robbed a finance
company in North Carolina. An employee was shot,
but survived and testified that Garner was the
gunman. The other two men arrested, Keith Riddick
and Kendrick Henderson, told vastly different
stories. Riddick, in exchange for a reduced
sentence, testified that Terence Garner was the
shooter. Henderson, for the defense, said the
shooter was Riddick's cousin, Terrance. But
Garner was found guilty and sentenced to 32
years. After the trial, Terrance confessed the
crime to a detective, but then recanted, setting
in motion events that reveal disturbing questions
about eyewitness testimony.

the case against the notorious hitman, the
government offered Lowe incentives to testify and
agreed to relocate his family through the Witness
Protection Program. But when a corrupt judge
acquitted Aleman, Lowe began a downward spiral of
larceny, alcohol and drug abuse, which drove away
his wife and left him in prison. After finally
putting the pieces of his life back together from

18 hours. 


The "crucifixion" of this young, gay man in

7-8pm -- AMERICAN JUSTICE® - Who Is the Lipstick
Killer? 
It was the crime of the century in postwar
Chicago. In 1946, two women and a six-year-old
girl were found murdered, and the case made the
front page for months. Banner headlines announced
the capture of William Heirens, who eventually
confessed and was sentenced to serve three
consecutive life terms. 


But there is ample reason to believe that Heirens
was not the killer. As his lawyer says, "the
public was furious with these murders and
demanded that somebody pay. And the system served
Bill up on a platter." Analyze the evidence and
watch a remarkable jailhouse interview, as
Heirens maintains his innocence and discusses his
impressive accomplishments in prison. As the
first inmate ever to earn a college degree in
Illinois, Heirens has become one of the most

At age 20, Bobby Kent appeared to have everything
going for him: popular, athletic and a good
student, he took a job out of high school and was
trying to start his own business. 


But things were not all they appear beneath the
clean-cut, all-American veneer. On one hot July
night, Bobby headed out with Marty and six
friends, never to return. What happened later was
no mystery as all seven, including Marty and
Bobby's ex-girlfriend, confessed to his murder,
claiming that Bobby was a ruthless bully who
could not be stopped any other way. The jury
disagreed and found all seven guilty of first or
second degree murder. Gripping interviews with
prosecution and defense attorneys and Bobby's
ex-girlfriend take a closer look at this headline
case.

10-11pm -- AMERICAN JUSTICE® - Murder Online
AMERICAN JUSTICE: MURDER ONLINE is a story for
the computer age, showing how small the world has
become and how easily murder can be arranged in
cyberspace. The 1999 murder of Bruce Miller in
Flint, Michigan, seemed to have been a robbery
gone wrong. Miller was a good businessman with
few enemies, a supportive family, and by all
accounts, a loving wife. There were no
fingerprints, murder weapon, or DNA evidence.
Police had nothing to go on. 


AMERICAN JUSTICE: MURDER ONLINE reports that for
three months the investigation into Bruce
Miller's murder remained at a standstill. Then,
in February 2000, the body of ex-policeman Jerry
Cassady was found more than 700 miles away in
Odessa, Missouri. Cassady's death was ruled a
suicide. When Jerry's brother Michael opened
Jerry's briefcase he made a chilling discovery: a
confession to Bruce Miller's murder that
implicated Bruce's young wife, Sharee. There were
also transcripts from an online chat room that
revealed an affair between Cassady and Sharee -
and complete details of the murder plot.

At age 20, Bobby Kent appeared to have everything
going for him: popular, athletic and a good
student, he took a job out of high school and was
trying to start his own business. 


But things were not all they appear beneath the
clean-cut, all-American veneer. On one hot July
night, Bobby headed out with Marty and six
friends, never to return. What happened later was
no mystery as all seven, including Marty and
Bobby's ex-girlfriend, confessed to his murder,
claiming that Bobby was a ruthless bully who
could not be stopped any other way. The jury
disagreed and found all seven guilty of first or
second degree murder. Gripping interviews with
prosecution and defense attorneys and Bobby's
ex-girlfriend take a closer look at this headline
case.

10-11pm -- AMERICAN JUSTICE® - Murder Online
AMERICAN JUSTICE: MURDER ONLINE is a story for
the computer age, showing how small the world has
become and how easily murder can be arranged in
cyberspace. The 1999 murder of Bruce Miller in
Flint, Michigan, seemed to have been a robbery
gone wrong. Miller was a good businessman with
few enemies, a supportive family, and by all
accounts, a loving wife. There were no
fingerprints, murder weapon, or DNA evidence.
Police had nothing to go on. 


AMERICAN JUSTICE: MURDER ONLINE reports that for
three months the investigation into Bruce
Miller's murder remained at a standstill. Then,
in February 2000, the body of ex-policeman Jerry
Cassady was found more than 700 miles away in
Odessa, Missouri. Cassady's death was ruled a
suicide. When Jerry's brother Michael opened
Jerry's briefcase he made a chilling discovery: a
confession to Bruce Miller's murder that
implicated Bruce's young wife, Sharee. There were
also transcripts from an online chat room that
revealed an affair between Cassady and Sharee -
and complete details of the murder plot.

7-8pm -- AMERICAN JUSTICE® - Dead Woman Walking:
The Karla Faye Tucker Story 
If the primary purpose of criminal punishment is
to deter and reform wrongdoers, then Karla Faye
Tucker's story is a case of justice gone awry.

Karla Faye committed a grisly double murder, then

more sinister shade of red. Paul Winfield

When Debbie Milke was sentenced to death for

Presenting a balanced and thoughtful look at the
Milke case, attorneys, detectives and private
investigators offer their insights and opinions,
and Milke offers her version of what really
happened in a rare audio interview. Milke's
mother, Janka, details what she sees as the
unfairness of the situation, contending that her
daughter was convicted and sentenced based on the
uncorroborated evidence of one police officer and
character testimony from embittered family

According to shocked friends, coworkers and

Sanger was not the gentle, caring woman she
seemed, but rather a cold-blooded murder, who had
killed her previous husband ten years earlier.

and extramarital excesses, she had twice resorted
to murder. Interviews with investigators,

confessed to helping to commit the murder and
taking photos of the crime as it happened.

relying instead on Shore's testimony. To the
shock of nearly everyone, including the judge,

the photos were found. Ignatow was convicted of
perjury and sentenced to five years in jail, but

On November 22, 1987, a motorist got out of his
truck to stretch his legs and discovered the
naked body of 19-year-old Kathy Bonney shot 27
times. 


Investigators soon revealed that the victim's
father, 44-year-old Tom Bonney, was the murderer.
That Tom was the killer was uncontested. At issue
was whether he suffered from multiple personality
disorder, as demonstrated by a videotape of
Bonney under hypnosis that showed various
personalities. The prosecution argued that Bonney
was enraged to learn that his daughter was
involved with a married man, and that he was
fully aware of his actions. While the jury found
Bonney guilty of first degree murder, the lower's
court's decision was later overturned on a
finding that Bonney was incompetent. Held in a
maximum security prison in Raleigh, North
Carolina, attorneys and expert witnesses discuss

shooter. Henderson, for the defense, said the
shooter was Riddick's cousin, Terrance. But

abducted from his family by a sexual predator and
was missing for seven years. But while brother
Steven's daring escape and return home made him a
media darling, Cary remained stuck in the shadows
that had already been taking root in his mind. 


What makes serial killers? Is it their
environment or are they born that way? In the
case of Cary Stayner, a human predator known as
the Yosemite Killer, some argue it was both. Cary
was plagued by psychoses, unable to resist
violent fantasies that had been with him since he
was a child. He had also lived through the
life-changing tragedy of his brother's abduction.
Did that devastating ordeal for the Stayner
family mutate into murderous desires in Cary? How
can the jury decide whether Cary Stayner was

actions?
