48 Hours Tonight: “Deputy Spivey on Trial” January 11 2025
This Saturday, January 11, 2025, at 10:00 PM ET/PT, 48 Hours presents “Deputy Spivey on Trial”, an in-depth investigation into the high-profile case of Renard Spivey, the TV bailiff charged with murdering his wife in 2019. In this gripping episode, 48 Hours contributor Natalie Morales sits down with Spivey for his first-ever television interview, where he opens up about the trial, his wife, and the fateful night that changed everything.
Renard Spivey, best known as the bailiff on Justice for All with Judge Christina Perez, was accused of killing his wife, who he claims was accidentally shot during a heated argument over a gun. In a 911 call played during the investigation, Spivey said, “I was really scared… you never put your finger on the trigger unless you’re prepared to shoot.” He recounts how his police training led him to try to take the weapon away from his wife, which he says inadvertently caused the gun to discharge.
However, the multiple gunshots fired that night raised serious doubts about Spivey’s version of events. Former prosecutor and CBS News consultant Lisa Andrews points to the multiple shots as a key factor that complicates Spivey’s claim of an accidental shooting. The episode explores the controversy and contradictions surrounding the case, diving deep into the trial and the key moments that shaped public perception.
In his interview, Spivey insists that his wife’s death was a tragic accident, expressing his love for her and his regret over the events that led to her death. “I love my wife. I did everything for her,” he tells Morales. “Anything she wanted… I always treated her like my queen.”
