JAY-Z continues to make criminal reform a priority. Roc Nation launches a podcast about misconduct within the justice system.
As reported by Variety Magazine the entertainment company will shine a light on the wrong actions that are often done when someone is accused in a court of law. This week the social justice division of the organization Team Roc announced a new medium in which they will try to bring attention to the issue. Corruption exposed is a show that will specifically explore the alleged corruption that followed the Kansas City, Kansas Police Department. This new project coincides with the trial of former KCKPD detective Roger Golubski, who is accused of kidnapping and raping two black women. Those allegations came to light in 1994 when it was alleged that he and his police department at the time framed a Kansas City teenager for a double murder. The man, Lamonte McIntyre, was finally released in 2017 and awarded a $12.5 million settlement.
“There is a need for strong and comprehensive storytelling in the criminal justice sector so that the voices of those who have been silenced are heard,” says Team Roc CEO Dania Diaz. “Our hope is for Corruption exposed not only to achieve this purpose, but also to serve as an investigative platform that will expose misconduct, demand accountability and drive change from the people and systems charged with protecting citizens and their communities.”
On Monday, December 2, Roger Golubski was found dead in his home from what is believed to be a suicide. According to Fox 4 KC neighbors called 911 after hearing a gunshot. When police arrived they found the former paralegal with a gunshot wound. Authorities are not investigating it as a homicide. You can watch the trailer at Corruption exposed below.
