I'm not the biggest fan of reality tv, but this idea is somewhat intriguing. I wonder what the legal obstacles are concerning the use of real cases from police files. They're probably not using the actual case, just basing it on them and recreating the scene with actors filling the role of witnesses/suspects? Dunno. I'm kinda interested but it'll probably turn out pretty naff.
