THE ACCUSED

PRODUCTION COMPANY: BRINKWORTH FILMS
NETWORK: A&E (USA)
FORMAT: 8 X 1 HOUR

This documentary series tells the dramatic stories of what happens when you are accused of a serious crime and was the first show of its kind on U.S. television. Whether you are the accused, or a close family member, it’s a terrifying experience. Everything is on the line; jobs, homes, children, marriages and most importantly freedom.

I followed two cases in America. An 18 year old in Texas who was accused of killing both his parents and a young man in Atlanta accused of beating a women unconscious outside a party. Between them they were facing over 70 years in jail.
