Episode notes

We dive into the life of Lt. Charles Becker, the alleged mastermind behind Herman Rosenthal's murder. Just like any human being, Lt. Becker was a complicated person with his own demons driving him to bend the law in his favour, give into the temptation of graft, and ultimately overdraw his hand. He stepped into power when the perfect storm of political and police reform left little oversight on his activities, giving him free reign over New York's Tenderloin district with the System to back him up.
