Daniel Genis, author of SENTENCE: Ten Years and a Thousand Books in Prison, returns to bemoan the recent arrest of Seth Feranti , famed documentary filmmaker and frequent guest on True Crime Uncensored. In 2003 Daniel Genis, the son of a famous Soviet émigré writer, broadcaster, and culture critic, was fresh out of NYU when he faced a serious heroin addiction that led him into debt and ultimately crime. After he was arrested for robbing people at knifepoint, he was nicknamed the “Apologetic Bandit” in the press, given his habit of expressing regret to his victims as he took their cash. He was sentenced to twelve years—ten with good behavior, a decade he survived by reading 1,046 books, taking up weightlifting, having philosophical discussions with his fellow inmates, working at a series of prison jobs, and in general observing an existence for which nothing in his life had prepared him. Genis describes in unsparing and vivid detail the realities of daily life in the New York penal system. In his journey from Rikers Island and through a series of upstate institutions, he encounters violence on an almost daily basis, while learning about the social strata of gangs, the “court” system that sets geographic boundaries in prison yards, how sex was obtained, the workings of the black market in drugs and more practical goods, the inventiveness required for everyday tasks such as cooking, and how debilitating solitary confinement actually is—all while trying to preserve his relationship with his wife, whom he recently married. Written with empathy and wit, Sentence is a strikingly powerful memoir of the brutalities of prison and how one man survived them, leaving its walls with this book inside him, “one made of pain and fear and laughter and lots of other books.”

Jeff McArthur has written two fascinating books that illumine two little known aspects of Al Capone's life and career.  Uncovering these stories is one thing. Researching the truth of these stories and turning that information into compelling books is something else entirely. Joining us on True Crime Uncensored, Jeff tells us the process and challenges he encountered researching and writing these two fascinating books: The Great Heist and Two Gun Hart.

Wade Williamson, a guest on the True Crime Uncensored podcast hosted by Burl Barer and Mark Boyer, found himself in a harrowing situation. He shot a man in self-defense after the man threatened his wife's life. However, to his surprise, Williamson was charged with first-degree murder1. The incident occurred when Williamson's wife's former boyfriend came over to their house, roughed up his wife, and threatened to kill him. In the heat of the moment, Williamson defended himself, but the legal aftermath was unexpected. If you're interested, you can listen to the full episode where Williamson shares his story12. It's a gripping account of a life-altering event

A producer for CNN during the murder trial of O.J. Simpson, McDougal has won more than fifty honors, including a George Foster Peabody Award. In addition to his famed best-selling true crime classics, he is the award-winning biographer of Jack Nicholson, Bob Dylan, Universal Studios chieftain Lew Wasserman and the Los Angeles Times' Otis Chandler. He has lectured in journalism and creative writing at UCLA, Stanford, Cal State Fullerton, and Cal State Long Beach, but his biggest thrill is laughing and trading one liners with Burl Barer and Mark Boyer on True Crime Uncensored!

RAW DEAL Can a fiction writer on line be arrested for what he creates? When Gil Valle's wife saw what he was writing on a dark fantasy web site, she freaked out reading about him abducting, torturing and eating women..including her! She didn't stop to think that she was alive and hadn't been served up after salad and appetizers. He was subsequently arrested at gunpoint by FBI agents and tossed into solitary confinement. After Valle's arrest, worldwide media coverage exploded in a frenzy of lurid tabloid headlines and stories about the “cannibal cop.” But here's the fascinating part; Valle was simply engaging in his own private fantasies, albeit fantasies that are abhorrent and grotesque, with others in online chatrooms. But he was charged for his “thought crimes,” and faced life in prison. He was convicted by a jury and incarcerated for 21 months until the judge in his case, overturned the jury decision and he was eventually exonerated of all charges. RAW DEAL: The True Story of NYPD's “Cannibal Cop” delves into the dark world of Valle's violent sexual fantasies. But it is also the tale of his ordeal from his arrest and onslaught of media attention, the devastatingly embarrassing trial and relationship with his female attorney, his wrongful conviction and nearly two years of incarceration, his battle to be free, and his life since. RAW DEAL will certainly test the boundaries of any reader. But it also raises the question of when does thought become a crime? Valle's story will challenge the reader's beliefs about free speech, the right to privacy, and government's role in watching over us.. Gil Valle joins Burl Barer, Howard Lapides and Mark Boyer on True Crime Uncensored for a fascinating hour. Listen to this fascinating hour!

John DeDakis required two episodes to give him the time he deserved -- so here are part one and part two (two weeks apart back in 2016) of our conversations with the brilliant journalist John DeDakis Since 1969, I've been a just-the-facts-ma'am journalist working in radio and television newsrooms in Wisconsin, Germany, Virginia, Washington, D.C., and Atlanta. Highlights of my career include getting tear gassed while covering the anti-Vietnam War riots in 1970 at the University of Wisconsin-Madison; doing a 40-minute, one-on-one radio interview with Alfred Hitchcock in 1973 during my stint in the Army at the American Forces Network (AFN)-Europe; and covering the White House for CBN News during the last three years of Ronald Reagan's presidency. In 1988, I joined CNN as a writer. From 2001 to 2005, I supervised the writing on "Daybreak" anchored by Carol Costello. From 2005 to 2013, I was a Senior Copy Editor on "The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer." In March of 2013 I retired from CNN after 25 years with the network. I now write full time. I grew up in La Crosse, Wisconsin and earned a BA in Journalism from the University of Wisconsin-Madison (1977). The name DeDakis first appeared in the Chicago phone book about 1915 as a typographical error. My grandfather, who had just immigrated from Greece, felt the accidental capitalization of the second D made the name look more "dignified" so, Dedakis became DeDakis. It's pronounced dih-DAY-kiss, by the way. Mr. DeDakis, being shy, didn't mention the highlight of his media life is appearing on True Crime Uncensored on Outlaw Radio with fellow old school journalists Burl Barer and Howard Lapides --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/burl-barer/support
