Mistaken: The Real Story of Richard Jewell

EpisodeDec 13, 201930m

When a bomb went off at Centennial Olympic Park in Atlanta during the 1996 Olympic Games, Richard Jewell, a security guard hired to man the games, discovered the bomb and helped clear the area. He was initially hailed as a hero. But the tides quickly turned on Jewell, when the FBI and the media together began to circle Jewell as the primary suspect for the bombing. “Mistaken: The Real Story of Richard Jewell” is an audio documentary with one goal: to tell the truth about what happened to Jewell in 1996.
