Ep 8. To Dye For

In Reasonable Doubt season 4 episode 8 "To Dye For," viewers are taken on a rollercoaster ride through the investigation of a murder that was thought to be open-and-shut but quickly turns out to be anything but. This true-crime series follows the story of former homicide detective Chris Anderson and criminal defense attorney Melissa Lewkowicz as they work together to uncover new evidence in cold cases.

In this particular episode, Anderson and Lewkowicz are attempting to help a man named Charles, who has already been convicted of the murder of his wife, Diane. The evidence seemed to be stacked against him, with a bloody hammer found in the trunk of his car and a suspiciously thorough clean-up of the crime scene. However, as the duo investigates, they begin to discover holes in the prosecution's case.

The main piece of evidence against Charles was his supposed motive - he had taken out a life insurance policy on his wife just months before the murder. However, Anderson and Lewkowicz interview Diane's hairdresser, who reveals that Diane had been talking about dyeing her hair and running away with a new man. This new piece of information throws the whole case into doubt - perhaps Charles wasn't the one with a motive after all.

Throughout the episode, Anderson and Lewkowicz interview more potential suspects and witnesses, all of whom seem to have their own reasons to have harmed Diane. They also consult with a forensic expert who analyzes the crime scene photos and points out inconsistencies in the prosecution's theory - the supposed clean-up wasn't as thorough as it seemed, and there was evidence of a struggle that didn't match up with Charles's supposed method of killing.

As the investigation continues, tensions run high between the defense team and the prosecutors, who are resistant to revisiting what they see as an open-and-shut case. However, Anderson and Lewkowicz are determined to uncover the truth for Charles and his family. As they work together to piece together the timeline of events, they uncover a shocking twist that leaves them questioning everything they thought they knew about the case.

"To Dye For" is a captivating episode of Reasonable Doubt that will keep viewers on the edge of their seats as they watch Anderson and Lewkowicz dig deeper into the murder of Diane. As always, the episode provides an in-depth look at the criminal justice system and the importance of considering all evidence before coming to a verdict. Whether you're a true-crime fanatic or simply enjoy a good mystery, this episode is not to be missed.
