The eight-part series follows one ripped-from-the-headlines case per episode, all the way through to the courtroom verdict.

Crime and Justice also stars Maqbul Mohammed (Varshita, Makutano Junction), Paul Ogola (Sense 8, Kati Kati), Brian Ogola (Lusala, Poacher) and newcomer Koome Kinoti in recurring roles, with guest stars like Brian Abajah (Sincerely Daisy), Martin Githinji (Sue na Jonnie, The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind), Justin Mirichii (Rafiki, Watu Wote), Foi Wambui (Sincerely Daisy, Anda Kava), Brenda Mwai (Noose of Gold, Ma’Empress) and Fareed Khimani (Kona).

Directed by Adam Neutzsky-Wulff working with an all-Kenyan production crew, Crime and Justice is written by Pauline Inda, Anthony Nero and award-winning Kenyan filmmakers Brian Munene (Watu Wote: All of Us, Morning After), Njue Kevin (18 Hours, Intellectual Scum) and Serah Mwihaki (Nairobi Half Life, Kidnapped).
