Orange County California Senior Deputy District Attorney Janine Madera has been a prosecutor for more than 20 years and has been the prosecutor for more than 80 jury trials. One of the cases she tried has recently been featured in Season 34 of the Oxygen program, Snapped, which is now available to watch with captions.

The case involved a complicated love triangle where a healthcare worker was found murdered in his apartment by his wife’s lover. Attorney Madera said that “It’s the most complicated case I’ve ever had. I’ve tried dozens of murder trials and my closing arguments are typically about an hour or an hour and a half, maybe two hours. This one was six hours.”

Join us in watching our member’s work be featured on a long running true crime series, and in congratulating Attorney Madera on another successful homicide conviction!
