Telemystery: TNT Orders Unscripted Police Procedural, Cold Justice

We wouldn't call ourselves fans of reality (unscripted) crime television, but this premise has us intrigued. TNT has ordered Cold Justice (working title), a procedural drama that follows two top-notch female investigators as they dig into murder cases that have lingered for years without answers and closure.

Kelly Siegler, a Texas prosecutor for 21 years, who has successfully tried 68 murder cases, and Yolanda McClary, a crime scene investigator who worked more than 7000 cases in her 26 years on the Las Vegas Police Department, are putting their vast knowledge and experience to work helping local law-enforcement officers and families of violent-crime victims get to the truth. With a fresh set of eyes on old evidence, superior interrogation skills and access to advanced DNA technology and lab testing, Siegler and McClary are determined to bring about a legal and emotional resolution. Taking on a different unsolved crime each week, they will carefully re-examine evidence, question suspects and witnesses, and chase down leads in order to solve cases that would have otherwise remained cold indefinitely.

Eight episodes have been ordered, which are expected to air in late Summer 2013.
