Criminal Justice Season 3 May 2026

The police coerce a false confession from Eli using an illegal interrogation technique. Miles moves to suppress it. Detective Reyes, who secretly recorded the interrogation, is torn between handing over the tape (losing her job) or letting an innocent kid go down.

Miles struggles to communicate with Eli. The prosecution has a strong case: Eli had been bullied by the councilman’s son, motive was revenge. But Eli's drawings reveal a fourth person in the house that night — someone the police ignored. Meanwhile, Miles’s sobriety is tested when a mysterious benefactor offers him Oxycodone to "stay calm."

Miles discovers the councilman was laundering money for a private prison company. The real arsonist is the company’s fixer — a man who has been following Eli for weeks, trying to silence him. Miles is attacked in his motel room. He relapses but hides it from the court.
