My all time favorite is City Confidential. The narrator, Paul Winfield, was born to narrate this show. Perfect, perfect voice, reflection, speech, he was amazing. He made the show. He passed away in 2009 and I still miss him! To this day I will whine..."Paaaaaul, I miss you, Paul". It continued for a season or two with a new narrator but it just was not the same. Loyal viewers felt the loss of Paul and the show didn't keep it's popularity and died at some point. It is still on in reruns but I cannot watch those.
I no longer have cable or satellite to watch ID (Investigation Discovery) so don't know the new shows that are being produced. I used to know every crime that happened due to reading People Magazine's crime stories, watching HLN/Nancy Grace, and watching the True Crime channels.
Current stories on Dateline on NBC is a "never miss". I will also watch 48 Hours, on CBS, I believe.
I remember City Confidential. It was good. We used to watch American Justice, but don't get it now. Disappeared is done well. Used to watch Unsolved Mysteries w/ Robert Stack. Nothing like him! I wish they'd do a remake.
I just tuned in for the first time to something called Las Vegas Law on the Justice Network and enjoyed that too. It had 2 or 3 cases being prosecuted and showed how the prosecution was thinking and why they offered deals, etc. I thought they were wrong on one deal offered.
One of their witnesses, the LEO who interviewed the victim, explained his lack of action (sending for rape kit, interviewing anyone else, etc) by saying he didn't do that because there was no crime. The prosecution thought the jury took that to heart and it would be an easy not guilty verdict. I'd be thinking how does he know there was no crime if he didn't do one iota of investigation?
Personally I think most people are smart enough to know that cops are people too and they sometimes get things wrong. Especially a male cop looking at a possible sex crime. So that guy got off a lot easier with the plea than I thought he should.
