Speaker 1: Chicago, nineteen eighty nine. White victim, female, pretty wealthy. A white woman's murder shocks the city. A black man from the projects comes forward with information about the case. He says the police are his friends, but out of nowhere, he goes from star witness to prime suspect and then that's it. They turn on. The system is hungry for a conviction. Lee Harris is sentenced to ninety years. I had ninety years for killing somebody I have never seen. Behind bars, Lee finds an unlikely ally and is selling Robert. The pair like chalk and cheese. There's no way their past would ever cross on the outside, But as a fellow inmate, Robert sees through the lies and vows to do the unthinkable. Clear Lee's name. This is a free, paid collect call from an inmate, as if you're with me or your goal to I'll take care of you. I'm gonna I'm gonna meet with the light. Together, they wage a twenty year war against Chicago's darkest corners, corrupt detectives, jail house informants, and entire system built on fear. Lee's mouth was Lee's downfall, along with dirty cops that knew they could manipulate ly. They got the wrong guy. They arrested the wrong person. How he've just interrogated the techniques. That's crazy. The legacy of one detective looms large, infamous for his torturous methods at Guantanamo Bay. So this is a bad dude. There's a list of police officers who deserve a special place in Hell, and he's certainly in the top three. I'm very determined to take him down, but Robert and his attorney are relentless. One motion, one late night call, one hope at a time.
