THE SHERIFF (Episode 6) -  Coram Nobis

THE SHERIFF is a new podcast from The Northwest Florida Daily News and The Gannett Company, hosted by Tony Adame, about the 1940 assassination of Lester Wilson, a Sheriff&rsquo;s candidate in small-town Florida, and the conspiracy of silence that let the murder go unsolved for 18 years. At the heart of the story is Lester Wilson&rsquo;s son, Ray Wilson, a Korean War hero and the youngest Sheriff in Florida history after he won the office his father pursued at just 28 years old. Openly disavowing any need for revenge, Ray&rsquo;s secret investigation into his father&rsquo;s murder would untangle a web of murder, sex, drugs, small-town politics and corruption unlike any the state has ever seen and eventually bring him face-to-face with his father's killers.&nbsp;
