While we're happy for Casey, there are no winners in this case.

And today we're breaking down the most intense, unforgettable moments ever witnessed in a courtroom.

For this list, we're looking at real murder trials where the tension inside the courtroom reached a breaking point.

GRAPHIC CRIME SCENE PHOTOS SHOWN TO JURY JODI ARIAS TRIAL Jane, for the first time today, actually

Travis Alexander's family got up and walked out of the courtroom before when they were showing graphic photos earlier last week, they were looking down, they were crying, they were trying to cover their faces.

In one of America's most harrowing courtroom moments, jurors in the Jodi Arias trial were shown gruesome photos of Travis Alexander's murder.

The Images revealed the 30 year old lying dead in his shower, stabbed nearly 30 times and a gunshot wound to the head.

Arias claim of self defense crumbled against the brutality of the evidence.

A bloody palm print mixed with both Arius and Alexander's DNA sealed the narrative of cold, deliberate violence.

Time stamped photos recovered from a deleted memory card showed Alexander alive in the shower only moments before the killing.

It was the day the trial turned from salacious to truly horrifying.

I think we said 29 stab wounds not only to the hands and the torso, but

And he would have exsanguinated if it were just that.

12 hour plea against EXECUTION LEOPOLD and LOEB TRIAL Your Honor, I have stood here for three months as one might stand at the ocean trying to sweep back the tide.

I have heard in the last few weeks nothing but a cry for blood.

I never saw such enthusiasm for the death penalty as I've seen here.

It's been discussed as a holiday, like a day at the races.

Chicago's 1924 thrill killers, Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb September stunned the public when they pleaded guilty to kidnapping and murdering teenager Bobby Franks.

Instead of denying guilt, their attorney, Clarence Darrow turned sentencing into moral theater.

Over three days he delivered a roughly 12 hour summation condemning the death penalty as vengeance, not justice.

If to hang these two boys would bring Bobby Franks back to life, I would say let them hang.

If the welfare of this community would be benefited by the taking of their lives, well and good.

Darrow argued, the young men were shaped by arrogance and immaturity rather than pure evil.

Appealing to the court's conscience over its anger, Judge John Caverly ultimately spared their lives, citing both their youth and precedent, sentencing them to life imprisonment plus 99 years.

Darrow's plea became one of the most influential anti capital punishment speeches in American legal history.

We can look inside our own hearts and learn that all life is worth saving and that mercy is the highest attribute of man.

simpson trial I was thinking last night about this case and their theory and how it didn't make any sense and how it didn't fit and how something is wrong.

It occurred to me how they were gonna come here and stand up here and tell you how O.J.

simpson stood before the jury trying to pull on the blood stained gloves prosecutors said he wore during the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron.

Cameras zoomed in as Simpson tugged, but the gloves appeared too tight.

Maybe I can demonstrate this graphically.

I'm still Johnny Cochran with a knit cap.

And if you look at O.J. simpson over there, and he has a rather large head, O.J.

simpson in a knit, Captain, from two blocks away is still O.J. simpson.

That visual broadcast worldwide was devastating for the prosecution.

Defense attorney Johnnie Cochran seized on it with the now immortal line, if it doesn't fit, you must acquit.

Whether the gloves had shrunk or been mishandled didn't matter.

That moment planted doubt that couldn't be undone.

It was courtroom theater at its most potent, a single act that shifted the focus from DNA evidence to one unforgettable image.

If you were to put a knit cap on, how's that going to disguise you?

I'd know your face anywhere now and you'd know mine.

And the people in Brentwood in West Los Angeles would know J. Simpson.

Undercover STING FOOTAGE played in court DALIA Dippolito TRIAL Dalia Dippolito, the woman caught on tape saying she was 5,000% sure she wanted a hitman to kill her husband, was back in court yesterday, taking the stand for the first time since her arrest in 2009 and her conviction in 2011.

I was accused of something that I didn't do when Undercover footage rolled in Dalia Dippolito's 2011 trial.

The Florida newlywed was seen calmly arranging a hit on her husband, discussing payment, timing and logistics with a man she believed was a hitman.

Days later, police staged her husband's fake murder, luring her back to the scene before arresting her on camera as she feigned shock.

I'm sorry to tell you, man, he's been killed.

This special edition of Cops is filmed on location with the men and women.

Claypool says it was all part of Boynton beach police's plan to be on the reality TV show Cops.

That sting video became the prosecution's ace card, transforming allegations into undeniable proof of intent.

Dippolito's 2011 conviction was later overturned, but a 2017 retrial led to another guilty verdict.

Few moments in courtroom history have made guilt feel so inescapable.

Perhaps the most surreal moment in the courtroom when the prosecutor plays an audio tape of her trying to explain to her then husband Mike, that she actually didn't pay to have him killed.

The initial guilty verdict Amanda Knox trial.

A 22 year old American student, Amanda Knox, was found guilty in Italy of murdering her British roommate.

She was immediately sentenced to 26 years in an Italian prison.

Prosecutors accused Knox, her boyfriend and a third man of sexually assaulting and then killing Meredith Kercher.

After an argument on December 4, 2009, an Italian court convicted Amanda Knox and her then boyfriend, Rafael Sollecito, of murdering British student Meredith Kercher.

Knox, 22, broke down in tears as the judge sentenced her to 26 years in prison.

For many abroad, it reeked of bias, with media sensationalism and flawed forensics clouding the truth.

I mean, you know, any parent, no parent leaves their innocent child in a foreign jail.

I think it's very important also to keep that light at the end of the tunnel for her emotionally, so that she knows that she's gonna get out of there.

Years of appeals exposed inconsistencies in DNA testing and police procedure.

In 2015, Italy's highest court overturned the verdict, declaring Knox and Sollecito definitely innocent due to lack of credible evidence.

But that first verdict, live broadcast and globally dissected, remains one of the most emotionally charged courtroom moments of the modern era.

Knox's friends and family watching the verdict back in Seattle say the jury made a big mistake.

They didn't listen to the facts and go on the facts.

That's all they were supposed to do, and they didn't have the courage to do it.

A lawyer for the victim's family said the sentence gives justice for the death of Meredith Kercher.

Lyle Menendez's testimony Menendez brothers trial just started with after sports practices, he would massage me and.

In 1993, the Menendez brothers televised trial shocked America, not just for the brutality of their crime, but
