WEBVTT - Shattering the System Trailer

0:00:00.680 --> 0:00:05.120
<v Speaker 1>Not all crime stories are created equal. I'm Scenario Glinton.

0:00:05.360 --> 0:00:08.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm not a celebrity or a comedian or an influencer.

0:00:09.000 --> 0:00:13.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm a reporter. And every reporter has that one story

0:00:13.320 --> 0:00:16.479
<v Speaker 1>that their bosses were too afraid to take on. But

0:00:16.560 --> 0:00:19.920
<v Speaker 1>now with this podcast, I have the chance to tell

0:00:20.000 --> 0:00:24.560
<v Speaker 1>stories too important amiss. We begin with the shocking crimes

0:00:24.920 --> 0:00:25.800
<v Speaker 1>of Ed Buck.

0:00:26.160 --> 0:00:29.120
<v Speaker 2>A prominent donor to the Democratic Party. A man by

0:00:29.120 --> 0:00:32.279
<v Speaker 2>the name of Ed Buck has been arrested after a

0:00:32.400 --> 0:00:35.480
<v Speaker 2>third man nearly died of an overdose in his West

0:00:35.479 --> 0:00:36.240
<v Speaker 2>Hollywood home.

0:00:38.120 --> 0:00:43.440
<v Speaker 1>This is shattering the system.

0:00:43.479 --> 0:00:47.800
<v Speaker 3>It was harrowing. I was speechless. The accounts of the

0:00:47.880 --> 0:00:53.680
<v Speaker 3>victims were just truly shocking. I had never seen anything

0:00:53.760 --> 0:00:58.800
<v Speaker 3>quite like this, and I don't think I ever will again.

0:01:00.000 --> 0:01:02.680
<v Speaker 1>How real prosecutor is shocked. You know you have a

0:01:02.720 --> 0:01:06.120
<v Speaker 1>story For this series, I'm taking a much more personal

0:01:06.280 --> 0:01:09.160
<v Speaker 1>and direct approach, because you know what, the last thing

0:01:09.240 --> 0:01:15.360
<v Speaker 1>the world needs is another mild mannered reporter camera. Actually,

0:01:17.080 --> 0:01:20.800
<v Speaker 1>look Chris Darden on the wrong side yet again, if.

0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:24.200
<v Speaker 4>You look at it outside of the criminal justice sphere

0:01:24.640 --> 0:01:28.600
<v Speaker 4>or the criminal justice space, then I can understand why

0:01:28.600 --> 0:01:29.479
<v Speaker 4>people would say that.

0:01:29.880 --> 0:01:37.360
<v Speaker 1>Yes, but in this show, we are not stopping at

0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:41.240
<v Speaker 1>true crime. So if you're blonde and perceived as beautiful

0:01:41.280 --> 0:01:45.640
<v Speaker 1>with blue eyes, you get that around o'clock media coverage.

0:01:45.920 --> 0:01:49.480
<v Speaker 1>I spent my entire career telling stories on NPR, Planet Money,

0:01:49.480 --> 0:01:53.559
<v Speaker 1>This American Life, and let's be honest, there are way

0:01:53.640 --> 0:01:57.240
<v Speaker 1>too many true crime podcasts. This is something very different.

0:01:57.840 --> 0:02:00.760
<v Speaker 1>This season. We take a close look the story of

0:02:00.800 --> 0:02:04.480
<v Speaker 1>how a wealthy, gay, white political donor took advantage of

0:02:04.520 --> 0:02:07.560
<v Speaker 1>a broken system to end the life of one man

0:02:08.040 --> 0:02:12.440
<v Speaker 1>and then do it all over again with a second victim.

0:02:12.560 --> 0:02:14.359
<v Speaker 5>I don't know how your heart doesn't break for the

0:02:14.440 --> 0:02:19.760
<v Speaker 5>families who lost people they cared about. Their grief, their

0:02:20.600 --> 0:02:24.000
<v Speaker 5>hurt and sadness live on and will haunt me forever.

0:02:24.919 --> 0:02:28.560
<v Speaker 4>LA's a jungle. You gotta be careful. You know, this

0:02:28.720 --> 0:02:35.560
<v Speaker 4>city is very deceptive because it's beautiful, but there is

0:02:35.880 --> 0:02:39.280
<v Speaker 4>so much darkness in this city and it's always been there.

0:02:41.520 --> 0:02:45.640
<v Speaker 1>It's more than true crime. It's Shattering the System the podcast.

0:02:46.240 --> 0:02:50.880
<v Speaker 1>Listen to Shattering the System on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts,

0:02:51.320 --> 0:02:53.440
