"Manuel Gomez is a detective straight out of a detective novel. He carries a pen that's really a knife, wears a watch that's really a camera, adores Sherlock Holmes and Miami Vice. But the cases Gomez takes on are all too real: cases of young men in New York City who say they've been arrested for crimes they didn't commit".- Gimlet Media

Conviction's a new release from the recently acquired Gimlet Media: it's a series that will feature a new piece of investigative reporting each season.
At the centre of this particular story's a colourful private detective called Manuel- or Manny- Gomez (who also really likes Phil Collins!). Reporter and host Saki Knafo tags along as Gomez tries to prove a New York teenager's innocence in a shooting, to get him out of jail.
We play some of Part 2 of Conviction from Gimlet Media called The Porsche presented by Saki Knafo where he and Gomez head out to investigate claims of police harassment and false arrests in a local neighbourhood.
