What forces drive a person to murder--are they genetic tendencies or learned responses? The case of Cary Stayner, known as THE YOSEMITE KILLER, provides powerful evidence that, in some instances at least, both factors are at work.

Through interviews with those closest to the crime and the killer's background, AMERICAN JUSTICE® shows how one tragedy became two, how a troubled boy was further disturbed by a family trauma and forever changed. When Cary Stayner was 10 years old, his younger brother Steven was abducted from his family by a sexual predator and was missing for seven years.

But while Steven's daring escape and return home made him a media darling, Cary remained stuck in the shadows that had already been taking root in his mind. Did that devastating ordeal for the Stayner family mutate into murderous desires in Cary? How can a jury decide whether Cary Stayner was ultimately responsible for his horrifying actions?
