Contest: ENTER TV & Media Av Contest: True Crime

[the G-man]

The news about O.J. Simpson inspired this one.

This contest is for true crime adaptations. Movies, TV shows, even comic books that dramatize actual crimes and the court cases that resulted from them.

Rules:

• It must be a dramatization (not documentary or news program) of an actual criminal case involving actual people and their actual names. So, for example, "American Crime Story, the People vs O.J. Simpson" would count, but a "Law and Order" episode inspired by the O.J. case would not. Similarly, a "Dateline" about OJ (if such a thing exists) or "Court TV coverage of the case would not.
• No Sci-fi/Fantasy (duh)
• Three entries per user.
• Standard av contest rules apply: 200 x 200 pixels max, 1 MB max and keep it work/Google-safe.

Voting thread goes up in about a week.

So, probably not.
