Girl on Trial

Does doing one bad thing make you a bad person? Sixteen-year-old Emily Keller, known by the media as Keller the Killer, is accused of causing the deaths of a family of four, including young children. Emily is one of the youngest females to be accused of a crime so heinous, making this the nation's biggest trial of the year.

Living in a trailer park in Baltimore with her twin brother and alcoholic mother, Emily's life hasn't been easy. She's had to grow up fast, and like any teen, has made questionable decisions in a desperate attempt to fit in with her peers. Will her mistakes amount to a guilty verdict and a life in prison? It's up to the jury to decide.
