Accused: Guilty or Innocent? returns with a new episode, “After the Verdict: Sakai,” airing on A&E on April 25, 2024. The episode focuses on the highly publicised case of Sakai French, who was charged with the 2018 murder of 18-year-old Dalvin Brown in Las Vegas.
In 2018, then 16-year-old Sakai French allegedly killed Dalvin Brown during a fight between the two. The case garnered significant attention, but it was not heard immediately, resulting in a series of trials. French was identified as the suspect by the North Las Vegas Detective Bureau, with the assistance of the Clark County School District Police Department, and arrested shortly after the incident.
The episode looks into the legal proceedings that followed, including French’s decision to reject a plea agreement. French, who was charged as an adult with murder, faced a potential prison sentence for the shooting that occurred near Canyon Springs High School’s baseball field.
As French approaches a critical parole board hearing, the episode explores the impact of the case on his life and the possibility of his conviction being overturned. With his future hanging in the balance it’s a real insight into the complexities of the legal system and the emotional journey of those involved.
Accused: Guilty or Innocent? airs on A&E at 9.00 pm on Thursday, April 25, 2024.
