The Hazzard Law Firm & Its Client Featured in Documentary on A&E's "Accused: Guilty or Innocent"
BIRMINGHAM, Ala., May 12, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Hazzard Law Firm's groundbreaking defense work takes center stage in a two-part documentary on A&E's critically acclaimed series Accused: Guilty or Innocent. The episodes, airing June 5, 2025, at 8:00 pm CST and 9:00 pm CST, follow Attorney Wakisha E. Hazzard as she commands the intense legal battle of a capital murder case involving the firm's client, Ms. Jasmine Drake.
This compelling documentary provides viewers with a rare, behind-the-scenes look at how experienced defense attorneys approach complex, high-stakes cases. Attorney Hazzard is joined by Attorney Maston Evans, Jr., as they fight for justice on behalf of Ms. Drake, who faced capital murder charges stemming from an altercation on April 1, 2022, at her home. The incident tragically resulted in the death of her husband, sparking significant media coverage at the time.
The episodes capture the firm's dedication to justice, showcasing the attorneys' thorough preparation and gripping courtroom drama that define complex cases like Ms. Drake's. The series tells the story of the intense legal effort, but it also humanizes Ms. Drake, whose charges were ultimately dismissed after critical evidence and advocacy revealed her fear and self-defense during the tragic event.
"This case was a testament to the power of diligent legal work and the importance of telling our client's story," Attorney Hazzard stated. "I'm thrilled and grateful to A&E for the opportunity to tell Ms. Drake's story and to illustrate the real-world challenges and triumphs involved when lives hang in the balance in the judicial system."
The original event, covered extensively by local media at the time, can be revisited through articles such as WVTM 13, AL.com, and CBS 42. Ms. Drake's perspective on the resolution and the support from her late husband's family was also later documented in an AL.com exclusive.
