In 1985, Jimmy wrote the articles “Torture Charge Could Prod Cops” & “Putting the Cattle Prod to Justice” to help bring justice to Mark Davidson, an 18-year-old from Queens who was falsely arrested over a $10 marijuana sale and then tortured in the police station by stun gun.
Along with devoted support from attorney Marvyn Kornberg, this chilling story shed light of the cruel and unjust treatment occurring at the NYPD.
In this episode, Mark, Marvyn and Kevin dive into the story, expand on what happened, the lasting impact, where they are now, and more.
