Hi, Dateline listeners.
It's Josh Mankiewicz, and I'm here to tell you about a very special documentary series premiering this weekend on MSNBC.
It's called The Sing Sing Chronicles, and it follows my Dateline colleague, producer Dan Slapian, and his 20 -year journey investigating five different homicide cases in New York City.
Dan was on a quest to determine whether the men convicted in those cases were actually guilty.
The series is built on more than a thousand hours of videos he himself shot, and what Dan uncovered will surprise you.
So don't miss this special two -night television event, airing Saturday and Sunday, November 23rd and 24th, at 9 p .m.
Eastern Time on MSNBC.
Now here's an exclusive preview from The Sing Sing Chronicles.
It was right after 9 -11.
The NYPD were the heroes of the city, the rock stars of the country, and I thought maybe I can have access to the NYPD to follow these detectives as they investigate homicides.
I was embedded with Bronx homicide detectives.
Bobby Adelrado and his partner, John Schwartz.
This is a crime scene.
So you've been a cop a long time.
Almost 20 years. This is the twilight of your career.
It's plausible. I walked into that building so young, eager, so unbelievably naive.
These were tough guys, and I was ready, you know, to see how they solved murders.
That's why I was there.
We were out at dinner one night, and I said to Bobby, you must bring this job home with you, everything that you see.
And he says, I really don't, except this one case.
This one case has been bothering me for about a decade.
And I said, what's that about?
You told me that this is going to haunt me.
It's going to haunt you.
You think? Oh, without a doubt.
Because it's not only going to haunt you.
It's going to haunt you until this, until there's closure.
And even after the long tour, it's still going to haunt you.
What? Thanksgiving night of 1990.
There was a shooting at the Palladium nightclub.
One man is dead and another injured after a shooting at a Manhattan hotspot.
It happened early this morning at the Palladium after some customers were thrown out for fighting.
Police say some customers were thrown out, but they returned shooting.
Marcus Peterson, a bouncer, was shot and killed.
Another bouncer was wounded.
Witnesses identified a couple of guys, David Lemus and Omad O 'Hodago.
They were arrested, tried, and convicted for the murder of Marcus Peterson.
But they convicted the wrong guys.
You think they had nothing to do with this crime?
I know they had nothing to do with this crime, and they still sit in prison.
The Sink Sing Chronicles will air on MSNBC as a special two night event on Saturday and Sunday, November 23rd and 24th at nine p .m.
Eastern. I hope you'll tune in to watch.
