A&E’s “Accused: Did I Do It?” returns Thursday with a thought-provoking courtroom drama that questions the line between self-defense and murder. “Murderous Cop Or Innocent Gunman?” examines the case of an off-duty police officer who shot a man following an argument. The officer claims he acted in self-defense, a claim complicated by a changed eyewitness statement.
As the prosecution pursues a murder charge, the episode presents evidence from both sides, leaving viewers to weigh the facts and decide for themselves. “Accused” typically keeps the location of the accused secret as each story unfolds, often offering multiple potential answers. The show combines courtroom footage, testimony, and interviews with defense attorneys, family members, and others close to the case.
“Accused: Did I Do It?” airs Thursday, May 15 at 10:00 PM ET on A&E.
