These complex prosecutions involved intensive investigations, forensic evidence, courtroom strategy, and significant sentences under Indiana law. Prosecutor Clarke outlines the crimes, traces the investigative process from initial response through arrest, and reflects on the challenges of trial preparation and sentencing. Designed for those fascinated with the criminal justice system, this program offers an in-depth look at how major cases unfold. Discretion is advised for those sensitive to violent content and image
