Episode Overview
In Birmingham, AL, a woman, her son, and her young niece are brutally stabbed over 75 times before their apartment is set ablaze. As the investigation unfolds, authorities focus on a family member of the victims. However, during the trial, the defense argues that the suspect's low IQ should exempt him from the death penalty. It falls on the prosecution to vividly illustrate the horrific details of the crime in order to obtain a capital murder conviction and ensure the severest punishment is enforced.
