Exclusive access will provide a whole new perspective.  Only on ID and discovery+.

MENENDEZ BROTHERS: MISJUDGED?

Premieres August 7 @ 9/8c on ID & Available to Stream the Same Day on discovery+ 

Thirty years ago, the nation watched every moment of the Menendez Brothers’ dramatic trial in real time on Court TV. Now, thanks to TikTok and social media, an entirely new generation is learning their story for the very first time. Details of the murder were seared into our collective  memory: the 911 call, the crime scene photos, the Rolexes.  The media narrative – that two Beverly Hill boys killed their parents out of greed and allegedly concocted a fantastic account to get out of it – remains a national punchline. But now, three decades later, as Gen Z discovers the case, they see the story of two boys who suffered horrific  abuse at the hands of their mother, father… and the media. Did we get it all wrong?

WHO KILLED BIGGIE AND TUPAC?

Premieres August 14 @ 9/8c on ID & Available to Stream the Same Day on discovery+ 

25 years of contempt, controversy, and conspiracy all lead to the same single question: who killed Biggie and Tupac? Now, with exclusive interviews and unique insight into both shootings, this series offers up answers from the key players involved. Who do you believe is telling the truth?

THE KILLER NANNY

Premieres August 21 @ 9/8c on ID & Available to Stream the Same Day on discovery+

MARY KAY LETOURNEAU: NOTES ON A SCANDAL

Premieres August 28 @ 9/8c on ID & Available to Stream the Same Day on discovery+ 

With all the ingredients of a Hollywood movie, this sex scandal shocked, enthralled, and enraged 1990s  America. 34-year-old elementary school teacher, Mary Kay Letourneau, who was married with 4 kids,  began an affair in 1997 with her 12-year-old student, Vili Fualauu. They not only didn’t deny the outrageous behavior, but they would also eventually embrace the love affair that included French-kissing on school grounds, trysts in her van, and even sexual rendezvous in her family home. The question on everyone’s mind was: Is this true love, or is Mary Kay Letourneau a pedophile, guilty of child rape?
