Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaBased on two separate cases:
- The Candace Newmaker case, which involved 10-year old Candace, a Colorado girl that was smothered to death after several adults sat on her during a "rebirthing" ceremony that was meant to help bring her closer to her adoptive mother.
- The Susan Smith case. Susan was convicted of murdering her two children, three-year-old Michael and 14-month-old Alexander. Her case gained international attention because of Smith's false claim that a black man had kidnapped her sons during a carjacking. Her defense attorneys, David Bruck and Judy Clarke, called expert witnesses to testify that she suffered from mental health issues that impaired her judgment when she committed the crimes. Smith was originally sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole after 30 years' imprisonment.
- GoofsThe ex-husband is stated as living near Philadelphia in Camden, PA. Camden is actually located in New Jersey, across the Delaware River from Philadelphia. This is not entirely correct. When the victim's mother tells Briscoe and Green that her ex-husband lives "near Philadelphia" this would be accurate as Camden, New Jersey is only 5 miles from Philadelphia. However, the title card preceding Briscoe and Green's meeting with the ex-husband incorrectly states the location as "Camden, Pennsylvania" which doesn't exist.

Featured review
Two girls were jogging in the park when they bumped into a child body lying on the ground. The little girl was actually dead, choked to death with her own vomit. Two students at the local high school left some fingerprints in the crime scene, after a night spent smoking joints, but they have just tried to revive the victim. Forensic stated the victim was dumped in the park some time after her death, so detectives led the investigation to the grieving mother. She's not the biological mother, having adopted the kid shortly after her divorce, realizing she's unable to have child on her own. According to information given by her therapist and her fellow coworkers (she worked in a canteen), she's depressed to raise a child all by herself; furthermore the daughter suffered from a mental illness very hard to deal with. So she changed psychologist and went to a therapist who performed rebirth sessions....I have never heard anything more dumb than this!
An episode too unreal to be true. Anyway even in modern times, people attend wizard and shaman meeting instead of relying on mainstream medicine, luckily it's not so common in the first world.
