WEBVTT - Introducing: Crying Wolf

0:00:01.520 --> 0:00:09.760
<v Speaker 1>Chicago, nineteen eighty nine. White victim, female, pretty wealthy. A

0:00:09.800 --> 0:00:13.280
<v Speaker 1>white woman's murder shocks the city. A black man from

0:00:13.320 --> 0:00:16.720
<v Speaker 1>the projects comes forward with information about the case. He

0:00:16.800 --> 0:00:20.160
<v Speaker 1>says the police are his friends, but out of nowhere,

0:00:20.880 --> 0:00:24.600
<v Speaker 1>he goes from star witness to prime suspect and then

0:00:24.800 --> 0:00:32.440
<v Speaker 1>that's it. They turn on. The system is hungry for

0:00:32.440 --> 0:00:36.839
<v Speaker 1>a conviction. Lee Harris is sentenced to ninety years. I

0:00:37.280 --> 0:00:40.640
<v Speaker 1>had ninety years for killing somebody I have never seen.

0:00:41.840 --> 0:00:46.120
<v Speaker 1>Behind bars, Lee finds an unlikely ally and is selling Robert.

0:00:46.920 --> 0:00:49.800
<v Speaker 1>The pair like chalk and cheese. There's no way their

0:00:49.880 --> 0:00:52.960
<v Speaker 1>past would ever cross on the outside, But as a

0:00:52.960 --> 0:00:56.160
<v Speaker 1>fellow inmate, Robert sees through the lies and vows to

0:00:56.160 --> 0:01:00.920
<v Speaker 1>do the unthinkable. Clear Lee's name. This is a free,

0:01:00.920 --> 0:01:06.160
<v Speaker 1>paid collect call from an inmate, as if you're with

0:01:06.280 --> 0:01:08.640
<v Speaker 1>me or your goal to I'll take care of you.

0:01:09.319 --> 0:01:13.319
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna I'm gonna meet with the light. Together, they

0:01:13.360 --> 0:01:18.280
<v Speaker 1>wage a twenty year war against Chicago's darkest corners, corrupt detectives,

0:01:18.640 --> 0:01:23.319
<v Speaker 1>jail house informants, and entire system built on fear. Lee's

0:01:23.319 --> 0:01:26.640
<v Speaker 1>mouth was Lee's downfall, along with dirty cops that knew

0:01:26.680 --> 0:01:29.720
<v Speaker 1>they could manipulate ly. They got the wrong guy. They

0:01:29.800 --> 0:01:32.920
<v Speaker 1>arrested the wrong person. How he've just interrogated the techniques.

0:01:33.040 --> 0:01:38.000
<v Speaker 1>That's crazy. The legacy of one detective looms large, infamous

0:01:38.000 --> 0:01:41.840
<v Speaker 1>for his torturous methods at Guantanamo Bay. So this is

0:01:41.880 --> 0:01:44.960
<v Speaker 1>a bad dude. There's a list of police officers who

0:01:45.319 --> 0:01:47.760
<v Speaker 1>deserve a special place in Hell, and he's certainly in

0:01:47.800 --> 0:01:51.240
<v Speaker 1>the top three. I'm very determined to take him down,

0:01:52.560 --> 0:01:57.000
<v Speaker 1>but Robert and his attorney are relentless. One motion, one

0:01:57.120 --> 0:02:02.520
<v Speaker 1>late night call, one hope at a time. This is

0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:06.520
<v Speaker 1>the Crying Wolf Podcast, a story of two men bound

0:02:06.560 --> 0:02:11.760
<v Speaker 1>by injustice, a friendship forged, where hope is almost lost,

0:02:12.560 --> 0:02:16.800
<v Speaker 1>of a city haunted by its secrets, and the quest

0:02:17.040 --> 0:02:23.040
<v Speaker 1>for redemption no matter the price. Listen to The Crying
