Rosario has always insisted that he is innocent, and that 13 alibi witnesses will swear he was a thousand miles away in Florida while the crime was happening in New York. Ride along in real time as Slepian spends two years digging deep into Rosario’s case in a quest for the truth.

Podcast will reel you in
I found this podcast by accident, started to listen just to have some background noise while working and before I knew it I was hooked, starting from episode 1 again and really listening to the episode. I was hooked on the series and couldn’t wait to get to the end and getting to the truth of this assignment. I absolutely loved it and highly recommend the listen
5 stars
Not only is this binge worthy but made a positive impact in the world. 5 stars.
My brother has been incarcerated since he was a teenager under false forensic information and ineffective assistance of counsel. This is not as rare as people think it is. Getting a unjust conviction overturned is sadly a reality a lot of people will never see.
Another great podcast!!
I would love to have more podcasts like this. I binged listened to it one morning. I also loved Letters from Sing Sing.
