On this episode of Jim Harold's Crime Scene, former Cook County prosecutor and rock musician Gregg Owen shares the unbelievable true story behind his book Convergence. From opening for rock legends to battling courtroom corruption in 1970s Chicago, Owen recounts how he resurrected a cold-blooded double murder case that many had written off. It’s a gripping tale of coincidence, courage, and the relentless pursuit of justice when the system itself seemed stacked against it.
