HTML:<p><b>An NBC <i>Dateline</i> producer's cinematic account of his two-decade journey navigating the broken criminal justice system to help free six innocent men</b><br /> In 2002, Dan Slepian, a veteran producer for NBC's <i>Dateline</i>, received a tip from a Bronx homicide detective that two men were serving twenty-five years to life in prison for a 1990 murder they did not commit.<br /> Haunted by what the detective had told him, Slepian began an investigation of the case that eventually resulted in freedom for the two men and launched Slepian on a two-decade personal and professional journey into a deeply flawed justice system fiercely resistant to rectifying—or even acknowledging—its mistakes and their consequences.<br /> <i>The Sing Sing Files: One Journalist, Six Innocent Men, and a Twenty-Year</i> <i>Fight for Justice</i> is Slepian's account of challenging that system. The story follows Slepian on years of prison visits, court hearings, and street reporting that led to a series of powerful Dateline episodes and eventually to freedom for four other men and to an especially deep and lasting friendship with one of them, Jon-Adrian "JJ" Velazquez. From his cell in Sing Sing, JJ aided Slepian in his investigations until his own release in 2021 after decades in prison.<br /> Like Bryan Stevenson's <i>Just Mercy</i>, <i>The Sing Sing Files</i> is a deeply personal account of wrongful imprisonment and the flaws in our justice system, and a powerful argument for reckoning and accountability. Slepian's extraordinary book, at once painful and full of hope, shines a light on an injustice whose impact the nation has only begun to confront.</p>. Media Type: eBook.
