HBO will explore the slaying of an innocent 15-year-old, Jordan Edwards, by a Balch Springs police officer in a program set to air Tuesday night.
In a news release, HBO said the season opener of Real Sports With Bryant Gumbel, which airs at 9 p.m., will feature exclusive crime-scene photos and police dashcam and bodycam footage.
Police videos and photos related to Jordan's murder were entered into the public record during the August trial for ex-officer Roy Oliver. The Dallas Morning News featured those videos throughout the trial and published an in-depth story earlier this month that included a behind-the-scenes look at how the case transpired for the prosecutors, defense attorneys and the families of both Oliver and Jordan.
Oliver was convicted of murder and sentenced to 15 years in prison. He could be eligible for parole in seven years.
It was the first time in 45 years that a Texas police officer was found guilty of murder for an on-duty shooting. The last time that happened was in the case of 12-year-old Santos Rodriguez in Dallas.
Here's the HBO trailer:
