New docuseries ‘Accused: Did I Do It?’ series premiere: How to watch, where to stream free

The brand new crime docuseries Accused: Did I Do It? premieres on A&E Thursday, March 27 at 10/9c.

The A&E original series follows the high-stakes stories of individuals who stood trial and are facing charges for serious offenses such as first-degree murder, manslaughter, domestic terrorism and aggravated assault. Every piece of evidence may lead to an answer, but the truth is never quite clear until the final moment of reveal.

Intimately filmed in prisons and homes across the U.S., the location of the accused is kept a mystery as the story unfolds. Key turning points, evidence and decisions that led to charges and eventual verdicts are pieced together with nail-biting testimony, explosive trial footage and interviews with their defense attorneys and family members.

The series premiere episode titled “Pocketknife Killer of Vulnerable Vacationer?” shows when a day out on the river with friends ends in a deadly encounter when a man stabs five people with a pocketknife following a terrifying confrontation. Later, the defense argues the man believed his life was in danger and acted in self-defense.
