Investigation Discovery to Premiere New Series SIN CITY JUSTICE, Today

In Las Vegas, a city where nearly everything is a gamble, the Clark County District Attorney's Office is as close to a sure thing as it gets. Led by District Attorney Steve Wolfson, this diverse and dedicated group of prosecutors rarely ever hears the words "Not Guilty" as they work tirelessly alongside law enforcement to pursue justice in their community. Investigation Discovery's (ID) SIN CITY JUSTICE - formerly known as LAS VEGAS LAW - grants viewers exclusive access to D.A. Wolfson's powerhouse team as they prepare and prosecute major criminal cases. Shot in cinéma vérité and featuring surveillance footage, police interrogation video, and photography never released before, the series immerses viewers in the high stakes, immensely dramatic environment that makes Vegas distinctive - and its crimes even more so. The six-episode first season of SIN CITY JUSTICE premieres Thursday, June 8 at 10/9c only on ID.

With more than 60,000 cases a year, including high-profile homicides, robberies, gang-related crimes and assaults on the Strip, these aren't stories pulled from a Hollywood script. They happen to real people just trying to live and let loose under the big lights of Sin City. The premiere episode "Rage Against the Machine," on Thursday, June 8 at 10/9c, captures the courtroom drama that centered around one of Sin City's hottest couples, adult film superstar Christy Mack and mixed martial artist Jon Koppenhaver, a.k.a. War Machine. Their relationship blew up social media. Their passion was more intense than the neon on Las Vegas Boulevard. But after they broke up, WAR MACHINE brutally attacked and sexually assaulted Mack. As the case came to trial amidst a media circus and national headlines, SIN CITY JUSTICE's cameras followed the prosecutors' battle to convince a jury that Mack truly was a victim despite her past as an adult-film star.

Other cases featured this season in SIN CITY JUSTICE are:

His killers went on the run, selling the iPad for $80 along the way, but were finally apprehended. Now Chief Deputy District Attorneys Jacqueline Bluth and Agnes Lexis hope to keep co-defendants, Michael Solid and Jacob Dismont, behind bars for murder as Marcos's large extended family witnesses the twists and turns in this dramatic trial.
