ID has a new podcast for you to listen to. Introducing Unraveled: Experts on Trial, a part of the iconic anthology from discovery+.

“Unraveled: Experts on Trial” investigates an alarming problem within the American criminal justice process: the business of forensic experts. It is a crisis in the courts that is decades in the making. Citing several cases as examples, Alexis Linkletter and Billy Jensen expose serious flaws with forensic expert testimony that routinely leads to tragedy and injustice within the U.S. court system.

In the early 90s, Garry lost a case due to an error in evidence processing. It was heart-wrenching to watch a guilty killer walk free but despite their frustration, the victim’s family thanked Garry for how he handled their case. Garry not only saw the people of Charlotte as citizens, he saw them as family. He learned how to talk to the people of the city, how to be a community member first and a detective second. He uses his unique Garry flair to ‘get in the door’ to talk with people – either families of suspects, victims or key witnesses. Rebounding from his loss in court, Garry had a case where 5 children lost their mother, grandmother, uncle and aunt to murder in less than 30 days. Garry took it on himself to take care of the children and make sure they found a safe home.
