The series examines controversial figures and events in the history of sports that featured figure(s) involved in the event later being labeled as a scapegoat. The show serves virtually the same purpose as a defense attorney in a criminal court trial: in each episode, it defends the accused by presenting evidence to separate fact from fiction, and then explaining why the accused cannot be held accountable from experts and witnesses.
