  • Summary

  • 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.

an eye opening look into the justice system

there is so much id like to say but I'd have to write a novel. The deep dark world of corruption inside the justice system. There was definitely an agenda behind what was done to the innocent. I highly recommend this novel to everyone.
