DOSSIER SEASON II - EP. 21: THE POLITICS OF MURDER

THE DOSSIER

Feb 26 2024 • 35 mins

The FBI investigation documents are broken out into a few categories: the last two episodes really looked at the idea of evidence, but more importantly witnesses, and informants that hold information.   The documents that we find more interesting, and really speak to the cover-up or a lack of effort on the part of the LAPD are contained in internal FBI memos that were circulated among the higher-ups at the LA Field Division.   Call it political, call it back-room deal making, call it having an inside track to understanding years after the murder of Biggie, the high-profile names that had to do a sinister job of managing what would become a huge mistake by one of America’s biggest police departments.   Names like famed Chief of Police Bill Bratton, and his hatchet man Mike Berkow, and in these documents you start to see the influence of the Criminal Division of the Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office.   If it wasn’t bad enough that the Wallace Family was suing the city for $400 million dollars for wrongful death, here comes FBI Agent Phil Carson wanting access to the Murder Books, wanting access to detectives at Robbery/Homicide, wanting information and more importantly just wanting the truth.
