About this episode
James Gibson’s story might never have seen the light of day if not for one man — maybe the unlikeliest imaginable. Andrew Wilson’s relentless legal battle exposed a decades-long pattern of torture by Chicago police and the cover up that hid it.
This is part two of a three-part series. This episode contains descriptions of violence, including sexual violence.
