The Prosecution of Aileen Wournos
4/16/2026
Seven men are dead, their bodies scattered along Florida’s highways, and one woman stands at the center of it all. The prosecution paints Aileen Wuornos not as a victim but as a predator driven by greed and control. As their case unfolds, the line between self-defense and cold-blooded murder begins to blur in the most unsettling way.

The Defense of Robert Atrops
3/12/2026
Robert Atrops called police repeatedly the night his wife disappeared. Prosecutors called his actions suspicious, but the defense says they were simply the moves of a worried husband. Add in evolving memories, flawed forensic interpretation, and a second man’s DNA found inside the victim, and this case becomes far more complicated than a simple narrative of guilt. But will the jury decide?
