In this first episode of Doing Justice, Preet Bharara's six-part adaptation of his bestselling book, Preet recounts the case of Eric Glisson, who was sentenced to 25 to life for a murder he didn’t commit. Seventeen years into his sentence, an SDNY investigator discovered that someone else had already confessed to the crime.
Check back each Wednesday for the next six weeks to hear Preet grapple with the moral dimensions of some of the cases that inspired and challenged him during his prosecutorial career.
