About this episode

In a case that has shocked the nation, 17-year-old Collin Griffith was recently acquitted of murdering his mother, after claiming self-defense—a defense that eerily echoes his justification for killing his father just a year and a half prior.

Was Collin truly acting in self-defense, or is there a much more sinister story lurking behind the surface? Could Collin's story be one of survival? Was he a victim of circumstances, or does his repeated violence suggest a troubling pattern? Join us as we investigate the complex layers of this double tragedy and attempt to uncover the truth.
