Malte Ludin's "2 or 3 Things I Know About Him"Disturbing Facts
On today’s Underreported, we get the details surrounding recent arrests and indictments of former Black Panthers in the 1971 killing of a police officer. Then, we look at the intense competition between Boeing and Airbus. Later on, filmmaker Malte Ludin talks about making a documentary as a way of understanding his father—a Nazi who was executed as a war criminal in 1947. And journalist Susan Eaton shares her investigative report on the conditions inside one all-minority school in Hartford, Connecticut.
Underreported: Torture and Black Panther Indictments
Earlier this week, the arrests and indictments of former Black Panthers in the 1971 killing of a police officer were announced. But according to the Center for Constitutional Rights, torture had been used to build a case against these men in 1973--in 1974, a court ruled that police had engaged in torture to extract a confession. Vince Warren, an attorney with the Center for Constitutional Rights, tells us why the case was re-opened, and talks about the legal significance of the indictments.
