From the Crime Scene to the Courtroom, Four of Atlanta’s Best Work to Solve and Prosecute Crimes in “Atlanta Justice” on Investigation Discovery

The Atlanta Homicide Unit consistently has one of the highest clearance rates in the country, but no one solves a murder by themselves – it takes a skilled and devoted team to identify, catch, and prosecute killers. Members of this elite and dedicated team include Detectives Nicole Redlinger and JD Stephens and prosecutors Leif Howard and Tanya Miller. ATLANTA JUSTICE immerses viewers into the world of these big city detectives and prosecutors as they work to solve some of Atlanta’s most baffling crimes. Detective Nicole Redlinger is one of the most respected and dedicated detectives ever to serve in Atlanta’s Homicide Unit. She works alongside Detective JD Stephens, who knew he was going to spend his life protecting and serving victims of crime. They are assisted by Leif Howard, one of the most effective prosecutors Fulton County has ever had on its team, and Tanya Miller, a lawyer with investigative skills that rival those of any detective. In their debut season, this dynamic group works to protect their community and serve ATLANTA JUSTICE, premiering Monday, December 28 at 9/8c, on Investigation Discovery

In the premiere episode of ATLANTA JUSTICE, the team works to solve the murder of Bobby Jackson. A couple walking their dog through an upscale Atlanta suburb stumble upon Jackson’s body, fully wrapped in silver tape dumped in a church playground. As they dig into Bobby’s life, two different women claim that they are his fiancée, and both claim that the other could be responsible for Bobby’s death. Now, it is up to Redlinger, Stephens, Howard, and Miller to sort out which woman is lying, and which could be Bobby’s killer.
