Shocking revelations about Lee's 'confession'  blow his 1990s trial wide open—and point to darker secrets buried deep in the Chicago Police Department.

Shocking revelations about Lee's 'confession'&nbsp; blow his 1990s trial wide open&mdash;and point to darker secrets buried deep in the Chicago Police Department.

Crying Wolf is a gripping true crime podcast that follows the story of Lee Harris, who was wrongfully convicted of murder and sentenced to 90 years in prison after a coerced confession. In prison, he formed a deep bond with fellow inmate Robert, who vowed to clear Lee's name. After two decades of relentless effort, exposing corrupt detectives, prison informants, and with the help of a determined defense attorney, Robert succeeded. In 2023, Lee walked free—only to die suddenly a few months later.

 

This podcast delves into the chilling legacy of Detective Richard Zuley, notorious for extracting false confessions, and the deep-seated corruption that plagues Chicago’s justice system. With Lee gone, Robert is determined to continue the fight, exposing the city’s dark history and pursuing justice for the wrongfully convicted. Join us as we unravel a story of friendship, betrayal, and the quest for redemption.

Before Cabrini-Green became a symbol—a talking point for politicians, a shorthand for urban decay—it was a place people loved, survived, and claimed as their own. As Anthony’s family recounts the toll of three lost decades, Jennifer builds a bold new legal strategy that connects his case to the shadow of the war on terror. And for the first time, the possibility of freedom feels within reach.

The murder of seven-year-old Dantrell Davis ignited a panic that swept through Chicago and straight into Cabrini-Green. Within days, police had their suspect, their motive, and their confession—no matter how fragile. Years later, standing on the empty ground where the high-rises once stood, a different story begins to emerge.
