Mystery and Murder: Analysis by Dr. Phil

Pamela Smart became infamous after prosecutors said she manipulated her 15-year-old lover, Billy Flynn, into murdering her husband, Gregg Smart. The case became the first murder trial in U.S. history televised gavel-to-gavel and turned Smart into one of America’s most notorious convicted killers. In Part 1 of Pamela Smart: Should She Get A New Trial?, Mystery & Murder: Analysis by Dr. Phil, Dr. Phil examines how Pamela’s relationship with Billy allegedly evolved from trust and emotional dependency into sex, secrecy and talk of murder. He breaks down the psychology of grooming, attachment vulnerability, blurred boundaries and the power an adult can hold over a teenager whose judgment is still developing. Now, with Pamela Smart seeking a new trial based on claims of newly uncovered evidence and undisclosed information, Dr. Phil asks the question at the heart of the case: Was justice served or is there more to this story than the jury ever heard?

The Jodi Arias trial had become a national spectacle, but the case still came down to one question: was she finally telling the truth—or delivering her most convincing performance yet? In Episode 3 of Fatal Attraction: The Story of Jodi Arias, Dr. Phil examines the extraordinary decision to put Jodi on the stand for 18 days, giving prosecutors repeated opportunities to challenge her shifting stories, self-defense claim and credibility. Behind bars, Jodi recruited loyal defenders, including former cellmate Donavan Bering, who helped shape her public image. Years later, Donavan reversed course, calling Jodi a cold-blooded killer and saying she believed she had been manipulated. Dr. Phil breaks down how charm, emotional bonding and “recruiting allies” can distort judgment—before the jury rejects Jodi’s defense, convicts her of first-degree murder and sends the case into a dramatic death-penalty battle. Now serving life without parole, Jodi is again fighting to overturn her conviction.

Jodi Arias no longer denied killing Travis Alexander. Her defense now rested on a far more complicated claim: she acted in self-defense, then entered a trauma-induced “fog” that erased her memory of stabbing him dozens of times, slashing his throat and attempting to conceal the crime. In Episode 2 of Fatal Attraction: The Story of Jodi Arias, Mystery and Murder: Analysis by Dr. Phil, Dr. Phil examines whether extreme stress can genuinely fracture memory or whether Jodi’s amnesia conveniently begins and ends around the most incriminating evidence.
