The premiere of the documentary series, which examines the case of death-row inmate Richard Glossip, who was convicted of murdering his boss, a motel owner, based on the testimony of maintenance worker Justin Sneed, who admitted to killing the victim and whose fingerprints were found at the crime scene. Sneed cut a deal: testify against Glossip in exchange for a life sentence.
The second episode engages all of the viewpoints surrounding Richard Glossip's case. The confessed murderer claims Glossip forced him to kill. The detective who zeroed in on Glossip defends his investigation. But Glossip maintains his innocence.
