"I wouldn't say that it was an attack, and I did everything that was humanly possible." With these words, Marjorie Knoller responded to a question about whether she felt responsible for the death of Diane Whipple, a 33-year-old woman who was killed in the hallway of the building where they both lived by two dogs owned by Knoller and her husband, Robert Noel.

AMERICAN JUSTICE® relies on interviews with all the principals to analyze the death that inspired a city's grief and the case that generated international media attention. See how Knoller and Noel's initial reactions to the incident not only galvanized public opinion against them but violated the basic tenets of how suspects in a crime should act, despite the fact that they are both attorneys. And examine the after effects of the judge's decision to throw out one of the verdicts in the case, which led some to question the ability of the justice system to function adequately in the glare of the media spotlight.
