The show is hosted by Dan Abrams, who observes and narrates camera footage to provide viewers a glimpse into a series of events in the courtroom. The show also describes the suspects' criminal charges and sentencing, depending on whether the defendant is either innocent or guilty. Additionally, various judges, lawyers, witnesses and victims are interviewed during the course of the show, including Emmy Award-winning reporter Rob Wolchek and veteran judge Vonda Evans.[6]
The show largely relies on usually unseen security camera footage from courthouses, police departments, and public buildings. Each segment of the show is narrated by Abrams in a play-by-play style and is sometimes followed-up by an interview with an involved party. Each segment depicts various intense incidents such as brawls, outbursts, shootouts, escapes, and heated exchanges.
When the show first aired in 2019, Abrams conducted interviews with guests in person. In the second season, because of the COVID-19 pandemic, he interviews the witnesses, lawyers, and judges remotely. As of now, there has yet to be more guests interviews in person.
