Taking the Stand returns to A&E this Wednesday with a case that blurs the lines between love triangle and outright malice. Darrin Lopez, airing at 10 PM ET (Season 4, Episode 3), tells the story of a man accused of murdering his girlfriend’s husband—a crime that’s seemingly open-and-shut, until the backstory starts to unravel.
Hosted by Dan Abrams, Taking the Stand often hinges on the accused’s own words, providing viewers with a rare glimpse into the thought process—and justifications—of those in the crosshairs of the law.
Was Lopez driven by jealousy? Or was he a victim of circumstance, pushed too far in a complicated relationship triangle? This week’s episode breaks down the facts of the case while giving Lopez a chance to present his defense directly to the cameras—and the audience.
Taking the Stand airs Wednesdays at 10:00pm ET on A&E.
