“Murder Without a Trial” offers a unique view of the events surrounding Lennon’s death, featuring exclusive eyewitness interviews and previously unseen crime scene photos. It delves into the motivations of his killer, Mark David Chapman, through conversations with defense lawyers, psychiatrists, prosecutors, and detectives.
