In an extremely unusual trial, the state of California makes its case against Jason Chan, Indra Lim, and Tak Sun Tan. An LAPD cop-turned-judge presides over a circus-like courtroom, in which three juries are crammed into one jury box. Witnesses drop bombshells on the stand and fireworks explode between a hotshot prosecutor and a ragtag bunch of defense attorneys.Strangeland is an audiochuck production. Connect with us on social media:<ul><li>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/audiochuck/">@audiochuck</a></li><li>Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/audiochuck">@audiochuck</a></li><li>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/audiochuckllc">/audiochuckllc</a></li><li>TikTok: <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@audiochuck">@audiochuck</a></li></ul>

Ep 6 of 12: Smoke and Mirrors

STRANGELAND from audiochuck is an investigative series that examines cases in immigrant neighborhoods.

Season 3: The Killing Fields of L.A. is hosted by Ben Adair and Mayly Tao.

In 1996, a Cambodian refugee was gunned down in an alley in L.A.’s Chinatown. But this wasn’t a typical murder. The victim was Haing Ngor, an Oscar-winning actor and humanitarian. Many Cambodians believe Ngor was assassinated over his role in The Killing Fields – a film that depicted the Khmer Rouge’s reign of terror.  Three teenage gang members were convicted and sentenced to decades in prison for murder. Yet to this day, the Cambodian community remains unconvinced of the boys’ guilt. Because the thousands of dollars in cash found on Ngor didn’t square with the LAPD’s story, and multiple witnesses said investigators coerced their testimony. In this season of Strangeland, journalist Ben Adair and Cambodian-American podcaster Mayly Tao piece through Haing Ngor’s journey from genocide survivor to Hollywood star to murder victim — and re-investigate the LAPD’s case to find out if justice was lost in translation.

Strangeland is produced by Western Sound.
