ABC has commissioned four-part investigative crime series The Family Court Murders, to be helmed by Walkley-winning journalist Debi Marshall.
Produced by Media Stockade and Said and Done Production, the series will cover the series of shootings and bombings conducted by Leonard Warwick, dubbed the Family Court Murderer, between 1980 and 1985.

Toronto - The hockey flick "goon" may bring the brawls of a low-level hockey enforcer to vivid life, but the battle for the hearts of its audience members may be its most bruising fight of all.
The scrappy newcomer vying for a place in the pantheon of all-time great hockey films finds itself facing off against an older competitor that's entertained generations of aspiring players.
Present-day stars of the National Hockey League are almost unanimous _ there's still nothing out there as good as "Slap Shot."
"It doesn't get much better than that," Montreal Canadiens goalie Carey Price said of the 1977 movie. "It was filmed in a different era, obviously, but it hit home pretty good with the way minor league system works and how it was back in the day. . . . There are a few classic quotes from that movie that any good old boy from Canada will know what you're talking about.
