About this episode
Tam has been in prison for two decades, and is facing a third. But now, there’s a small chance a judge could send him home, time served. For one month, we follow Ear Hustle’s inside producer as he prepares for his day in court. Thank you to Star, Lan, Thai Chi, Ai Linh, Lance, and everyone else we spoke to for this story.
