A&E’s true-crime docuseries “Accused: Did I Do It?” returns this Thursday with a case that blurs the lines between self-defense and vigilantism. “Staircase Shooter or Defensive Dad?” examines the events leading up to a father shooting his ex-girlfriend’s new boyfriend in the leg on a staircase.
The father insists he acted to protect his ex and their child from an intruder. However, the prosecution paints a different picture, arguing that video evidence reveals a premeditated and violent attack. “Accused: Did I Do It?” presents both sides of the story using courtroom footage and testimony to dissect the incident.
“Accused: Did I Do It?” airs Thursdays at 10:00 PM ET on A&E.
