Joe Berlinger and Ronald Kuby

Listen to "Joe Berlinger and Ronald Kuby From Wrong Man On Starz" on Spreaker. The ground breaking STARZ six-part documentary series Wrong Man investigates three different inmates who’ve been incarcerated for decades. They claim they’re innocent. The series uncovers new theories, offers alternate suspects and reveals startling new evidence that could prove these prisoners are not guilty. In Wrong Man, Berlinger’s cameras follow a team of esteemed legal, investigative and forensic experts including renowned civil rights attorney Ronald Kuby, former prosecutor Sue-Ann Robinson, retired NCIS investigator Joe Kennedy, and Ira Todd, a member of Detroit’s elite Homicide Task Force, as they re-investigate the cases of three inmates who have been locked up for decades and claim they are innocent. Wrong Man follows investigators into prisons and to the scenes of the crimes to crack open the cases as they hunt for new evidence, track down witnesses, and track to often-reluctant law-enforcement, looking beyond guilt and innocence to expose the flaws in the criminal justice system. The series will take an in-depth look at the following cases: Evaristo Salas, who was 16 years old in 1997 when he was sentenced as an adult to 33 years in Washington state prison. His murder conviction was based on two witnesses, including a confidential police informant who came forward to our investigators and spoke on camera publically about his incriminating testimony for the very first time. Christopher Tapp - who confessed to killing and sexually assaulting an 18-year–old girl in Idaho but only after multiple and lengthy taped police interrogations. The mother of the victim has become convinced that his confession was coerced by police and that the wrong man is in prison for the murder of her daughter. And thirdly, Curtis Flowers, who is on Mississippi death row despite the fact that for two decades, he’s been tried six times for the same crime by the very same prosecutor in a case riddled with evidentiary problems. Flowers maintains he had no part in the quadruple murder that landed him on death row. Berlinger says: “partnering with STARZ to create a series that represents both great storytelling and an opportunity that actually moves the needle on social justice for the wrongfully convicted has been a great privilege.” Academy Award® nominee and seven-time Emmy® nominated and Peabody and Emmy®-winning filmmaker Joe Berlinger has been a leading voice in nonfiction film and television for two decades. His films include the landmark documentaries Brother’s Keeper and the Paradise Lost trilogy, which helped lead to the recent release of the wrongfully-convicted West Memphis Three; Metallica: Some Kind of Monster, a film that re-defined the rockumentary genre; and Under African Skies, about Paul Simon. Berlinger's film Crude, about oil pollution in the Amazon Rainforest, won 22 human rights, environmental and film festival awards and recently triggered a high profile First Amendment battle with oil-giant Chevron. Criminal defense and civil rights lawyer Ronald L. Kuby has been in practice for more than three decades. His high profile cases have included representing convicted Central Park Jogger “rapist” Yusef Salaam on appeal and post-conviction; winning a massive judgment against racist subway vigilante Bernhard Goetz; and his first “wrong man” case in 2000, when he won the exoneration of two men who had been wrongfully convicted of murder and spent 13 years each behind bars. Kuby has also been a talk radio host and Court TV and MSNBC anchor. Kuby is immortalized in cinematic fame with The Big Lewbowski, where the Dude, in the Malibu Police Station, demands Kuby as his lawyer.
