A&E’s Court Cam isn’t content with just one hour of courtroom mayhem. This Wednesday, November 27, at 9 PM, brace yourselves for a double dose of jaw-dropping moments, emotional outbursts, and legal shenanigans with back-to-back episodes. For those with a morbid curiosity for the unpredictable nature of justice (or just a plain old morbid curiosity), this is your Thanksgiving eve viewing sorted.
First up, in episode #816, a convicted murderer decides to engage in a shouting match—because reasoned discourse is overrated—with the victim’s mother. The episode also features a defendant who apparently missed the memo about courtroom decorum, racking up three contempt charges during an online hearing. Because who needs internet etiquette when you can yell at a judge from the comfort of your own home? Rounding out this hour of judicial chaos, a mother rises to her daughter’s defense from the gallery, proving that some family bonds can withstand even the most embarrassing courtroom experiences.
The courtroom craziness continues in episode #817. A man convicted of matricide faces his younger sister at sentencing, offering what one imagines is a less-than-heartwarming family reunion. Meanwhile, a hit-and-run victim objects to a judge’s ruling so vehemently that they end up in contempt of court, proving that sometimes the victim becomes the… well, you get it. And because variety is the spice of televised legal proceedings, the episode concludes with the sentencing of a woman who attempted to cash a lottery ticket that wasn’t hers.
These back-to-back episodes deliver exactly what Court Cam fans crave: unfiltered access to the human drama of the American justice system. From high-stakes murder trials to petty squabbles over lottery tickets, it’s a raw and unpredictable look at what happens when the gavel falls.
Court Cam airs Wednesdays at 9 PM on A&E.
