The Burden is a new investigative true-crime podcast from Orbit Media. The show tells the story of Detective Louis Scarcella, once celebrated for his prowess in solving tough cases in 1990s New York City. Scarcella becomes embroiled in controversy as a group of convicted murderers (who all claim to be innocent!) turned jailhouse lawyers uncover his involvement in dozens of cases, leading to the release of over 20 individuals he helped convict. But can they get themselves out too? The government has paid out a record-breaking $150 million in wrongful conviction settlements with more to come.The Burden is out now on Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen to podcasts.
