Cynthia Portaro, whose son Michael's Las Vegas slaying is retraced in Sin City Murders, forgave his killer and now advocates against the death penalty.
“The caller reported a male covered in blood,” a retired Las Vegas detective said of the 911 call placed after aspiring hip-hop artist Michael Portaro was gunned down.
After Jonathan Hoffman, 17, dialed 911 to report his grandma, 74, shot him, police found him face down in gym shorts and socks, with multiple gunshot wounds and a faint pulse.
Despite the chilling admissions heard in the trailer for the new Oxygen series — from “I shot my husband" to “I just killed my dad" — not all cases are as clear-cut as they seem.
The trailer for the new Oxygen show mentions "butchery on a corpse,” "a body found in the stairwell at the Imperial Palace," and someone being buried "in the middle of the desert."
