Several of Kevin's most successful documentaries have explored the deep problems facing the criminal justice system. He's built compelling stories around the lives of murderers, detectives, prosecutors and victims. Two of Kevin's documentaries resulted in high-profile exonerations. Excerpts of one series "Killing Richard Glossip" have been submitted to the US Supreme Court in support of Glossip's case of wrongful conviction.
