On June 7, 2007, Cristi Hall, a mother of three, was reported to have drowned in her backyard spa. Her husband Chris, and daughter Courtney, had attempted to revive her. Cristi was pronounced dead, and her husband was arrested for murder later that night. Was it a murder or a tragic accident, as her husband said it was.

On January 31, 2011, 14-year-old Alana Calahan was shot in her home while she uploaded photos to her Facebook. She was then dragged out into the woods, and was found by her sister, and a 14-year-old neighbor named Aaron Schmidt. 

Aaron Schmidt was later arrested for Alana's murder. He confessed that it was an accident. He was sentenced to life without the possibility of parole. Was Aaron's trial fair, or should he have been given a lighter sentence?

On June 20, 2008, 17-year-old Randall Mercier was found dead in a drainage ditch. He had been stabbed 22 times, and had gashes all over his body. 

The police soon learned that Randall had been in a love triangle with 16-year-old Meaghan Rice, and her boyfriend David Paulson. Is this why his life was taken?
