A&E’s Court Cam returns Wednesday, June 25 at 9:00 PM ET, bringing viewers another look at the legal system’s wild side with episode #826. This week, the focus is on two cases that put judges in a tough spot: a protection order gone wrong and a jail facing full capacity.
The first instance centers on a woman accused of domestic violence and assault with a dangerous weapon. The problem? She shows up to the courthouse with her alleged victim, a clear breach of a standing protection order. This forces the court to deal with the messy reality of victims and abusers who defy legal boundaries.
Later, a judge finds themselves in a bind when deciding whether to keep a defendant’s bond in place. The complication: the local jail reports it is at full capacity, leaving the court to weigh public safety against the realities of an overcrowded system.
As always, Dan Abrams hosts, giving context and straight talk on the legal ins and outs of these unscripted courtroom outbursts. The show pulls back the curtain on how events play out in real time, featuring interviews with those involved.
