A Death in Soundview

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.

Cafe Studios presents Doing Justice, hosted by Preet Bharara. Justice is about doing the right thing, in the right way, for the right reasons. And it's about making sure that no one is above the law. Doing Justice is CAFE's new narrative podcast, based on host Preet Bharara's bestselling book. In each episode Preet explores the key elements of a case from the unique perspective of the prosecutor whose job it is to grapple with urgent moral and legal questions. Should we allow an elected official to run for re-election while he’s under investigation? Can we prosecute a police officer for planning to kidnap his victims? Preet is the host of the hit podcast Stay Tuned and is the former U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York. It is not always clear how justice works, and he is the perfect person to take us through each investigation, unravel a mystery, and ultimately show us how things can be made right again.
