Successful Atlanta entrepreneur Lance Herndon usually got what he wanted, but when he is found bludgeoned to death in his waterbed, it appeared he got more than he could handle, possibly due to a business deal gone wrong or a girlfriend's revenge.
When an unknown assailant guns down sheriff-elect Derwin Brown shortly after winning his election, investigators suspect a political assassination, only to instead uncover an extensive trail of corruption.
An undetermined cause of death was an important element in Karen Read's defense. Her attorneys argued that if it's not clear that John O'Keefe was murdered, then that should raise enough reasonable doubt in the case against her.

Proctor told jurors that it was a figure of speech. My emotions got the best of me.
