Rachel Stockman Named CEO of Law & Crime as Dan Abrams Becomes Chairman
Stockman, who joined Law & Crime over a decade ago, takes over the top executive role from founder Dan Abrams, who remains chairman.
Rachel Stockman has been promoted to CEO of Law & Crime, succeeding founder Dan Abrams, who is stepping down from the chief executive role while remaining chairman. Abrams also serves as chief legal analyst for ABC News.
Stockman has been with Law & Crime for more than a decade. She initially served as editor-in-chief before being promoted to president.
During her tenure, Stockman spearheaded the company's acquisition of Court TV, which was sold by E.W. Scripps to Law & Crime earlier this year. She has also executive produced dozens of documentaries and series for Netflix, Paramount+, A&E, Fox Nation and HBO Max/ID.
Earlier this fall, Stockman oversaw the launch of "Partners in Crime," a programming initiative featuring six original series developed with true-crime creators. Law & Crime operates four FAST channels and multiple subscription channels on YouTube, generating more than 700 million hours watched across platforms over the past year, according to the company.
Law & Crime has been owned since 2023 by Jellysmack, a holding company for creator-led media businesses.
