The Burden: Teresa Gomez Speaks!

I uncovered never-before-heard audio of Teresa Gomez, the troubled serial witness who disgraced NYPD Det. Louis Scarcella claims saw 11 murders. Listen to me discuss the tape, from a case where she actually may have been telling the truth.

From The Burden. This podcast from Orbit Media dives into the fast-paced world of Scarcella, whose penchant for extracting confessions from murder suspects drew accolades in the ’80s and ’90s. His dirty secrets started to come to light in the 2010s thanks to the unrelenting advocacy of a group of jailhouse lawyers doing life in prison. I contributed research and interviews to the entire series.
