A man framed. A fight to be heard. A system that buried the truth. Crying Wolf follows the extraordinary true story of Lee Harris, a police informant currently serving 90 years in prison for a murder he says he did not commit. After a coerced confession and an alleged framing by Chicago Detective Richard Zuley, a corrupt policeman later linked to torture practices at Guantanamo Bay, Harris’s voice was silenced for decades. Across each episode, the series peels back the layers of a stranger-than-fiction miscarriage of justice, while also confronting the heartbreaking unsolved murder of Dana Feitler and the devastating human cost of a case where justice remains out of reach.
