American Justice is a television series focused on criminal justice in the United States, originally broadcast on the A&E Network and presented by Bill Kurtis. The program delves into intriguing or significant legal cases, including the murder of Selena, the Scarsdale Diet doctor case, the Hillside Stranglers, Matthew Shepard’s story, and the Wells Fargo heist. These narratives are recounted by key figures involved, such as law enforcement, attorneys, victims, and even the criminals themselves. With over 250 episodes produced, it holds the record as the longest-running documentary series on justice in cable television history.

The production of new episodes concluded in 2005, but the series continues to air reruns on A&E’s affiliate, The Biography Channel, under the new title Notorious. These reruns maintain the original content, with updates only to the credit sequences and commercial breaks. Additionally, past episodes are available for purchase on DVD.
