Hulu has debuted the trailer for the upcoming docu-series ‘Captive Audience.’
This is the story of how a story gets told, and how the media’s magnifying glass impacts the characters caught in the narrative. Siblings Ashley and Steven Stayner Jr. never knew their famous father Steven, the child victim of a shocking California kidnapping, who tragically died in an accident when they were young. In 1972, seven-year-old Steven went to school – and never came home. His mother Kay struggles to keep the media interested in the case and to hold her family together. Then, after seven years, a miracle: Steven returns. The media can’t get enough of the story and frantically descend on the Stayner home – but this isn’t the Hollywood ending it appears to be.
Now fourteen years old, Steven struggles to adapt, and his family grapples with life under the media microscope. Steven’s older brother...

Court TV will carry the televised feed of the Johnny Depp-Amber Heard defamation trial, which is scheduled to begin next week in Fairfax County, Va.
The network will be the pool feed provider for the trial, and plans to provide coverage of the proceedings.
Ethan Nelson, Acting Head of Court TV, said in a statement, “Court cases that are as high-profile as this one often create a lot of noise, and it can be difficult for viewers to break through these distractions to have a clear picture of the facts, but that’s where we come in.”
Depp filed a 50 million defamation suit against Heard after she wrote a Washington Post essay in 2018, headlined “I spoke up against sexual violence — and faced our culture’s wrath. That has to change.” Although the essay didn’t mention Depp by name, he claims that it damaged his reputation and cost...

Court TV is about to make history. Starting May 4, the Supreme Court of the United States will provide the network and select members of the news media access to live Supreme Court oral arguments.
The Supreme Court’s move to allow live audio of its oral arguments is historic — the court rarely releases same-day audio and typically waits until the end of the week to release audio from its oral arguments from the prior days. Court TV will telecast Supreme Court cases from May 4 through May 13, including several cases involving President Donald Trump, one of which will center on the president’s alleged attempt to shield his tax returns and other financial records.
Court TV will present the arguments live to viewers using a similar production model as its coverage of the recent camera-less Harvey Weinstein rape trial earlier in the year, presenting images and graphics of the litigants and...

The moment Amber Frey took the stand to testify against her former lover, Scott Peterson, at his murder trial was by several expert accounts a crucial shift against him — perhaps the earliest signal of his fate months later, when he would be convicted of two first-degree murders and sentenced to die.
For three months, as People reported at the time, “the prosecution team apparently failed to connect the dots for jurors, while antagonizing the judge by bungling basic procedural matters.”
But then Frey took the stand, testifying for several days about her relationship with Peterson, her realization that he was...

Police didn’t have to look far to find a suspect in the disappearance and death of Laci Peterson: Her husband, Scott Peterson, was almost immediately under scrutiny, thanks in part to his being her spouse — and because of how he acted after she vanished.
“His overall demeanor was so off from what they had seen in their experience as investigators that they completely zeroed in on him,” Ted Rowlands, a local TV reporter, explains in an exclusive clip from Tuesday night’s episode of A&E’s six-part The Murder of Laci Peterson, which retraces the case’s history.
