The first season of Oxygen True Crime’s riveting Prosecuting Evil with Kelly Siegler concludes with episode 10 airing on Saturday, January 20, 2024 at 8pm ET/PT. Episode 10, “Justice Is Green,” focuses on the murder and dismemberment of Morris Black in 2003. Robert Durst was charged with his neighbor Black’s murder and pleaded not guilty by reason of self-defense. In this exclusive clip from the season one finale, Kelly Siegler provides a crash course in self-defense and reveals that self-defense cases are more difficult to prosecute than you’d think.
“When you read the legal paragraph of what justifies self-defense, there’s a lot of words,” explains Siegler, the former Chief of Special Crimes in the busiest courthouse in Texas. “And it’s hard to make a jury understand all those words and all those little elements and pieces matter before self-defense applies.”
“A torso found floating in Galveston Bay, Texas, leads to the arrest of billionaire Robert Durst,” reads Oxygen True Crime’s synopsis. “For the first time, Kelly Siegler gets attorneys from both the defense and prosecution to discuss the ‘Texas Trial of the Century.'”
Prosecuting Evil with Kelly Siegler takes an in-depth look at harrowing homicides that took place in Texas. Siegler provides special insight into the investigations, sharing the knowledge she’s acquired from spending more than two decades as a prosecutor.
The true-crime series is executive produced by Siegler, Dick Wolf, Casey Kriley, Jo Sharon, Adam Kassen, Andrew Nock, and Tom Thayer.
