Judge Juan Guzmán had supported General Augusto Pinochet’s 1973 coup that toppled democratically-elected President Salvador Allende and left thousands of others dead or disappeared. But when in 1998 Judge Guzman was assigned the first criminal cases against Pinochet, what he learned about the past changed his mind about the General, and forced him to confront his own role in the tragedy. He joins Leonard, along with Elizabeth Farnsworth, director of a new documentary called "The Judge and the General." It airs on PBS on August 19 at 10 pm.
