On the evening of 29 December 2011, Officer Clifton Lewis was moonlighting as a security guard at a Chicago minimart when two men walked in.

For hours, under intense police questioning, they all said they didn’t do it. But that didn’t seem to matter. This is episode one of Off Duty, an investigation by the Guardian’s Melissa Segura

Infuriating and heartbreaking at the same time, this a must-listen. An intimate view of what it takes to get to a modicum of justice in a thoroughly broken judicial system.
Amazing

Season 6 coming in hot! There should be more podcasts like this one exposing the gross and unconscionable corruption of the CPD. I am gobsmacked at the amount of money taxpayers are burdened with and there seems to be no end in sight. The damn prosecutors are even in on it! I feel like this podcast just scratched the surface of this case. Thank goodness for that legal team sticking with it. They’re doing the work!! I need more!!
