The killing of Andrew Jenicek
- The crime: Andrew Jenicek, 27, was shot and run over by a car in late 2024.
- The suspects: Four suspects, including 19-year-old Alicia Valdez, were caught on CCTV afterward, appearing unfazed and laughing as they bought snacks. Valdez's car was used during the murder, and police determined that she, along with her co-defendants, was involved in a series of robberies and shootings.

2. The case of Ethan Couch ("The Affluenza Teen")
- The crime: In 2013, 16-year-old Ethan Couch killed four people while driving drunk with a blood alcohol level three times the legal limit.
- The defense: During his trial, a psychologist infamously testified that Couch suffered from "affluenza," arguing that his wealthy upbringing meant he was never taught to face the consequences of his actions.
- The outcome: The court sentenced Couch to 10 years of probation instead of jail time, which sparked widespread public outrage. He later violated his probation by fleeing to Mexico with his mother and was subsequently sentenced to jail time.
3. The Whitehead sisters
- The crime: In 2010, teenage twins Jasmia and Tasmia Whitehead killed their mother, Nikki Whitehead.
- The cover-up: The sisters lied to police for months, claiming they discovered their mother's body. They acted distraught to deceive investigators.
- The outcome: Evidence and inconsistencies in their stories eventually led to their confessions. They were convicted of murder.
