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