Description

Baltimore, 2015, was a city in turmoil. Riots erupted as citizens demanded justice for Freddie Gray, a young man who died in police custody. Amidst the chaos, a shocking scandal unfolded. Sgt Wayne Jenkins and his team, the Gun Trace Task Force, were hailed as heroes, but behind the scenes, they were involved in a web of corruption. The team had been skimming from the drug busts they made, pocketing thousands in cash and planting fake evidence to cover their tracks. The system was designed to protect them, and the dealers, smugglers, and ordinary citizens were left to face the consequences. In this gripping true story, Pulitzer Prize-nominated reporter Justin Fenton reveals the shocking truth behind the Gun Trace Task Force scandal. With painstaking self-discovery and astounding reportage, Fenton has pieced together a story of systemic corruption that will leave you questioning the very fabric of the justice system.
