Malik Yoba Hosts TV One's "Justice By Any Means" — Malik Yoba Hosts TV One’s “Justice By Any Means”

TV One’s True Crime Monday night line-up will add all-new episodes of “Justice By Any Means” starting on Monday, Oct. 24 at 10 p.m. ET. The one-hour re-enactment crime and justice series returns with the untold stories of family members, friends and good Samaritans whose relentless pursuit of justice resulted in retribution for crimes committed on the victims the law forgot. Hosted by actor and community activist Malik Yoba, “Justice By Any Means” guides viewers through these horrific and heroic tales.

Yoba, best known for his work as an actor on the small and big screen, is also an educator and facilitator of leadership programs to encourage and improve the lives of young people around the world. As host of Justice By Any Means, he is now lending his support to victim rights issues by spreading the message of dedicated supporters responsible for bringing retribution to criminals.

“I am honored to host such an inspiring show. Although these true life crime stories are tragic and horrific, the overriding spirit of each hour of Justice By Any Means is most importantly about showcasing ordinary people doing extraordinary things on behalf of others, loved ones and strangers. Viewers will learn that they too have the power to make a difference,” said Yoba.

“Justice By Any Means” delivers first-person accounts of these brave individuals as they launch their own investigations, immerse themselves in dangerous manhunts and meet face-to-face with the suspected assailants – all in the name of justice.

The premiere episode explores a case that made national headlines when Jannie Ligons, a grandmother from Oklahoma City, become a victim of sexual assault at the hands of a local police officer. While heading home one night after playing dominos at a friend’s house, Jannie was pulled over and forced to endure a horrifying sexual assault by an officer sworn to protect and serve. With the support of her daughter and Attorney Benjamin Crump by her side, Jannie was ultimately able to find the courage to go public with her story. The mounting media coverage by News One Now’s Roland Martin and other national outlets put pressure on the police to find her attacker and alerted the community to a dirty cop on the force. Jannie’s determination to find justice ultimately unearthed a shocking story of an officer abusing his position of power to routinely prey on multiple Black women.
