Despite the chilling admissions heard in the trailer for Oxygen‘s upcoming series Kill or Be Killed — from “I shot my husband” to “I just killed my dad” — not all cases are as clear-cut as they may seem.
Kill or Be Killed, premiering Saturday, March 2 at 9 p.m. ET/PT, takes a look at complex claims of self-defense in murder cases.
In the trailer for the new series from Oxygen True Crime, the home of high-quality true-crime programming, one man seen in an interrogation room says, “He was going to kill me… that’s when I shot.”
Words flashed on the screen read, “Knowing the killer doesn’t always mean knowing the truth.”
