This week’s After the First 48 revisits a case from Mobile, Alabama, that’s anything but straightforward. A man gunned down in his front yard, and detectives are left sorting through a mess of conflicting stories. Was it self-defense, as some witnesses claim, or a cold-blooded murder? The detectives have their work cut out for them untangling the truth.
The victim, a pillar of his community, makes this case even more complicated. The prosecution needs the same people the victim dedicated his life to helping to step up and testify. Getting justice will require the community to come together, which, as we know, isn’t always easy.
After the First 48 offers a look at the raw, emotional realities of homicide investigations, from the initial 48 hours to the courtroom battles that follow. This episode features interviews with detectives, prosecutors, defense attorneys, and the victim’s family, providing a full picture of the human toll these cases take.
