Summary

[Part 2 of 2] Dramatic headlines continue as three teenagers are tried for their roles in the murders of a mother and grandmother, with spoiled heir Darren Huenemann at the center of it all. While he and Derik Lord testify with their own conflicting versions of events, the youngest, David Muir remains silent... for now.

But the theatrics and shocking updates would continue long after the trial — leading to a dramatic prison escape and another confession.

The intention of this series is to take a detailed look back at a shocking crime often sensationalized and oversimplified, and explore the inner workings of the criminal justice system.
