Based on the Evidence
Each week we present the true stories of people who’ve already stood trial for committing violent crimes, and see if we can determine whether the defendant was found guilty or not guilty based on the evidence from the actual trial. Every episode reveals the actual trial outcome so you’ll never wonder whodunnit, though you may wonder if the jury got it right!

On October 27, 2007, Joel Lovelion was dressed as a fan of his favorite hockey team for a Halloween party hosted at the Broken Drum bar in Grand Forks, ND.
Before the night was over, Joel would be dead, beaten to death by another partygoer.
The only physical evidence found was something yellow from part of a costume. The suspects include a penguin, a clown, a gangster, and a construction worker.
Will the murderer be unmasked or will Joel's killer remain disguised?

On February 24, 1986, the body of 29 year old Sherri Rasmussen was found in the apartment she shared with her husband in Van Nuys, California. She had been beaten and shot three times in a struggle, apparently a victim of a botched robbery. It would be 23 years before Sherri's father and a few cold case detectives force the LAPD to re-open the case and consider that the murder may have been committed by someone who knew how to do just enough to make the crime scene look like an interrupted burglary.
