A five-year-old girl was rushed to a Las Vegas hospital after her father and his girlfriend called 911. The couple said Janiyah Russell was unresponsive after taking a bath, or in the bath, as Shevhaun Miller couldn't get her story straight. Janiyah tragically died at the hospital. Investigators then both arrested Richard Davis and Shevhaun after hearing numerous versions of their stories. The Disturbing Truth breaks down the heartbreaking truth of Janiyah Russell's death through bodycam videos, a real reenactment with police, interrogation, and insight from Janiyah's grandmother.

COMING MARCH 24 - When Luigi Mangione was arrested for allegedly shooting UnitedHealthcare’s CEO, it sent shockwaves across the country, but the aftermath was even more unsettling. While mainstream media condemned the act as a brutal murder, a very different narrative was taking shape online—one that questioned the true villains in this story. Was the alleged shooter a violent extremist, or had he become an unwitting symbol of something much larger? 

Hosted by Law&Crime's Jesse Weber, LUIGI is more than just a true crime investigation—it's an exploration of a uniquely American moment. As this case continues to unfold in real-time, this series steps beyond the headline-grabbing "crime of the decade" angle to examine the cultural reckoning it has triggered. At its core, LUIGI captures a shifting America at a tipping point. From the public's growing disillusionment with corporate power to the radicalization of online discourse,—this is a story about what happens when the powerless begin to push back. LUIGI dissects the moral, political, and cultural divide at the heart of this case. Wherever this case goes, Law&Crime will provide you with all angles of the case; from those who have condemned the suspect and the crime, to others celebrating the act as revolutionary. 

With exclusive interviews, courtroom documents, and in-depth coverage, we challenge you to decide: Is the status quo enough, or is it time for a cultural reckoning?
