ATLANTA, April 25, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Court TV saw all-time viewership highs for its live coverage of the recently-completed trials involving Alex Murdaugh and Gwyneth Paltrow.
Coming off the heels of this record-setting growth, Court TV will premiere a new, original 10-episode documentary series "Accomplice to Murder with Vinnie Politan" on Sunday, May 7 at 8 p.m. Preview here.
"Accomplice to Murder with Vinnie Politan" looks beyond the usual suspects to tell the gripping stories of everyday people caught up in a world of deception and manipulation as they become accomplices to murder. Court TV lead anchor Vinnie Politan hosts and travels across the country to speak with the accomplices – the convicted, the condemned as well as the exonerated – who provide a unique window into cases whose verdicts might not be as clear-cut as initially thought. Veteran Court TV producers help guide viewers through the dramatic twists and turns as each trial unfolds. The series was drawn from Court TV's massive library of hundreds of trials spanning three decades.
"So often when we look at murder cases, they are shown through the lens of only the main suspect or mastermind," said Politan. "But what about the other people who played a role in helping to commit these horrible crimes? That is exactly the reason behind 'Accomplice to Murder.'"
Initial episodes:
Politan, a Court TV anchor and an Emmy Award-winning legal journalist leads the network's coverage of the nation's most compelling trials. A lawyer and former prosecutor, Politan has been covering the world of crime and justice for over 20 years, also hosting legal and news programs on HLN, Sirius XM, NBC in Atlanta and A&E.
