One that I always feel compelled to watch when it's on is the Patty Stallings case, in which she was wrongly convicted of murdering her infant son. It happened in my hometown, and her younger, surviving son (who also died a couple years ago, unfortunately) was briefly in my brother's class. Such a sad case all around. Oh! And the one where a couple took an elementary school hostage with a homemade bomb, but everyone in the school survived when it exploded. I wasn't a fan of the religious spin they put on it, but I remember seeing it for the first time as a small kid and it really stuck with me. Another case that I remember seeing, I don't remember many details, but it involved a high school/college-ish age girl being assaulted (certainly physically, not sure about sexually). She was knocked out at some point, and upon waking, said she called for help by pushing the redial button on the phone. She suffered serious brain damage--possibly amnesia, but also having to learn to read and write again. But as a kid watching it, I remember thinking "If she had to learn to read again, how did she read/know to press "redial?""
