Murder In Boston: Roots, Rampage, And Reckoning S1

1989. When the shocking shooting of a white couple at the hands of an alleged Black assailant makes headlines, racial tensions in Boston escalate as police descend upon the Black community. Soon, police arrest their first suspect, a Black man in Mission Hill, whose possession of an Adidas tracksuit puts him in their crosshairs.

After evidence against their first suspect falls apart, the Boston Police Department continues its aggressive targeting of Black neighborhoods, eventually leading to a local man with an extensive record named William Bennett. Meanwhile, the media and police ignore discrepancies in Chuck’s version of events.

Two months after the murder, a shocking twist leads to surprising revelations from Chuck’s brother. As troubling errors in the police investigation come to light, the Black community responds in anger to the prejudicial manhunt and the media’s handling of the story – leaving Bostonians to confront the lasting impact of the Stuart case and damage to their city.
