About this episode
The episode discusses the ongoing preliminary hearing where defendants are pressured to testify and Frank Carson offers a way out amidst new evidence revelations.
As a marathon preliminary hearing continues, the defendants face mounting pressure to climb aboard “the witness bus” and cut a deal. Frank Carson hits rock bottom, and offers his co-defendants a way out. The prosecution belatedly reveals a cache of undisclosed evidence — with major consequences.
