The true story of how federal law enforcement flipped the playbook and convicted a corrupt unit of Baltimore police.
In 2015 and 2016, Baltimore was reeling after the death of Freddie Gray in police custody and the protests that followed. In the midst of this unrest, a violent, highly trained, and heavily armed criminal gang roamed the city. They robbed people, sold drugs and guns, and divided the loot and profit among themselves.
They had been doing it for years. But these were not ordinary career criminals.
They were the Baltimore Police Department’s Gun Trace Task Force (GTTF).
Formed in 2007 to get the guns and criminals responsible for Baltimore’s high crime rates off the streets, they went rogue and abused their power to terrorize people throughout the city.
On March 1, 2017, all members of the GTTF were arrested on federal racketeering charges. In Who Speaks for You?, Leo Wise, the lead federal prosecutor in the case, tells you how. Wise gives an inside look into the investigation and prosecution of this group of elite and corrupt cops. He shares the unbelievable
twists and turns of the case, revealing not only what these officers did but how they were brought to justice. Wise dramatically recounts how his team put together their case, what happened during the trial and court proceedings, and how his team successfully prosecuted these extraordinary defendants. This is the
firsthand story of a once-in-a-generation police corruption case told by the prosecutor who was intimately involved in every step of the investigation.
