1:09:22Now PlayingWhat really happens behind closed courtroom doors when murder, gangs, fear, and corruption collide?
In this episode of The Rabbit Hole: Conspiracy Theories, I sit down with former Chicago homicide prosecutor Gregg Owen, who prosecuted more than 60 murder cases during his career with the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office and later became the first Chief of the Gang Prosecutions Unit in Illinois.
Gregg takes us inside the realities of homicide investigations and murder trials—from frightened and disappearing witnesses to gang intimidation, courtroom strategy, and the corruption he says he witnessed while working inside Chicago’s justice system.
We also dive into the incredible true story behind his book, Convergence. The case involved a double murder that was solved within days but took four years to reach trial, as prosecutors dealt with fear, missing witnesses, and alleged corruption surrounding the courtroom.
How different is knowing who committed a murder from actually proving it? How reliable are eyewitnesses? What happens when witnesses are too afraid to testify? And just how vulnerable is our justice system to corruption?
Today, we're hearing about it from someone who experienced that world from the inside.
Follow me down the rabbit hole with Gregg Owen.
