旁白:1998年6月1日,雷内特·伯格纳在滑山发生车祸身亡,她的丈夫彼得·伯格纳仅受轻伤。彼得声称他不记得事故发生经过,但雷内特的家人和警方对他的说法表示怀疑,两年后,彼得被指控犯有谋杀罪。此案围绕着事故是意外还是谋杀展开,证据主要为间接证据,缺乏直接目击证人。 彼得·伯格纳:彼得坚称事故是意外,他表示自己不记得事故发生经过,当时他惊慌失措,试图刹车,但最终还是发生了车祸。他强调自己爱妻子,并对妻子的死感到悲痛。 雷内特的家人:雷内特的家人认为这是一起蓄意谋杀,他们指出彼得与雷内特之间存在婚姻问题和经济纠纷,并且彼得在事故发生前曾表现出对雷内特的不满。他们认为彼得有充分的动机和机会杀害雷内特。 警官约翰·席林:警官约翰·席林是调查此案的主要警官,他认为事故现场的证据表明这是一起谋杀,而不是意外。他指出没有发现任何刹车痕迹或转向痕迹,这与彼得的说法相矛盾。 戴夫·克利夫顿:检察官戴夫·克利夫顿认为彼得·伯格纳有罪,他试图通过呈现证据来证明彼得蓄意谋杀了他的妻子,包括事故发生前彼得与雷内特之间的争吵,以及彼得在雷内特死后追求其他女性的行为。 迈克尔·施瓦茨:辩护律师迈克尔·施瓦茨认为检方证据不足以证明彼得·伯格纳有罪,他质疑警官约翰·席林的专业性,并试图通过对事故现场的分析来证明事故是意外。 陪审员珍·韦斯特曼:陪审员珍·韦斯特曼认为彼得·伯格纳有罪,她指出彼得在911报警电话中表现冷静,以及事故发生前彼得与雷内特之间的矛盾。 陪审员埃里克·卡内斯:陪审员埃里克·卡内斯认为彼得·伯格纳无罪,他认为检方证据不足以证明彼得·伯格纳有罪,并且检方在案发后很长时间才提起诉讼。
