Brooklyn North is the true story of how four Black men were wrongfully convicted of murder—nearly all connected to a once-legendary NYPD homicide detective, Louis Scarcella. Jonathan Fleming, Sundhe Moses, Jabbar Washington, and John Bunn were among dozens of innocent New Yorkers who spent decades in prison—guilty until proven innocent. This Original documentary follows their relentless fight to unveil an insidious pattern of police and prosecutorial corruption in Brooklyn at the height of the war on drugs and a historic peak in violent crime in the 1980s and ‘90s.

I thoroughly enjoyed this podcast. It was a compelling narrative and very well presented but also gave insight into the complicated processes of crime, policing and justice.

Well worth it!

It's a fantastic take on systemic racism, and possible solutions to it. The story's lessons could be applied not only to the US justice system, but to many other nations' systems.

It's a heartbreaking but eye opening story

Kudos to the researchers and great minds behind this series. It was both moving and eye opening! People seem to think that just because we are seeing some Police reform that this is enough, but the courageous men in these stories are living proof that abuse of power and police brutality leaves decades if not generations of pain and residual collateral damage. Hearing how kids were ripped from homes, fathers losing their children. Those who are in a position to effect change need to listen and use their influence so there aren’t any more wrongful conviction cases!!

A Must Listen!! What you Dont Know Can Most Certainly Hurt You!!!!

This true story makes me cry and feel ashamed to be a human. I can only hope that the truth being told will be heeded and that we can become a more civil people on the planet. I am repeatedly struck by the grace and dignity of these men in the telling of their experiences, and only hope that we can all learn from them. Can’t we all just get along?

Heartbreaking, heart opening, hopeful for change

it is captivating from start to finish. hearing the testimony of so many people. and to hear what police officials, and the judicial system did to them Is shocking and immoral. the sad part is it continues today.

gripping harsh reality that really changed my mind

Everything XG productions does is great. This is an important story for anyone interested in learning more about the Prison Industrial Complex and race in America. Aaron Goodson is an excellent narrator.

Following the events if August 12, I started researching the racial history of America. I was appauled at how minorities have been treated throughout American history. This story us among several I've studied as well as my first podcast. It was great lustening to in the car and will be looking for others.

Love it.

These stories made me mad and then I cried for these guys. such a tragedy of doing so many years knowing you were innocent. Thank God they all made it through to once again see the outside and justice.

Heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time.
