Taking the Stand

Adam Matos (2x2)

Air date: Jan 19, 2023

When an entire family is found in a decaying pile of bodies by the side of a Florida road, the hunt is on to find what police fear might be two more victims, 28-year-old Adam Matos and his 4-year-old autistic son Tristan. Adam and his son are found alive, launching a bizarre investigation where Adam claims he acted in self-defense after being attacked by his ex-girlfriend's new love. That defense devolved into accidently killing his ex-girlfriend, her parents, and the new boyfriend--and then living with the bodies for several days. Will baby-faced Adam be able to convince the jury that the grizzly scene police found at the home is really a result of self-defense? And how will he explain selling the family's dogs and ordering pizza post massacre? His calm demeanor and explanation for every bizarre detail may just win him his freedom.
