Introducing - Wrongful Conviction with Lauren Bright Pacheco | Season 2

Absolute, Season 1: Taser Incorporated&nbsp;is at once a tale as old as time - a true believer learns the hard way that the costs of lofty ambition and hubris just might outweigh even the most optimistic upside - and a thoroughly modern story of technology overtaking the very people it is meant to serve. &nbsp;In this case: &nbsp;the ubiquitous electric gun carried by cops everywhere and inspiring comedic shenanigans in movies like The Hangover.
Host and documentarian Nick Berardini has been obsessed with this story for his entire adult life. With Absolute, Season 1: Taser Incorporated , he left no stone unturned.&nbsp;
Taser, Inc., now known as Axon, the 800-pound gorilla in the paramilitary police equipment industry, is led by its charismatic CEO and co-founder, Rick Smith. &nbsp;Fueled by a self-described religious dedication, Smith&rsquo;s Star Trek obsession, and an ambitious vision of a world without gun violence, Rick leads Taser, Inc. to be the key tech supplier to virtually every police force in America. But as stories of alleged misuse, deaths, and serious injuries from Tasers begin to emerge, Taser, Inc. and Rick arrive at a crossroads between Rick&rsquo;s vision and reality, with cops and the citizens they are sworn to serve and protect paying the price.
