Today’s guest, Gregg Owen, in his own words…
“I’m a former Chicago murder prosecutor who took a very unusual path to the courtroom. Before law school, I was a touring rock musician who performed across the Midwest and opened shows for bands like The Doors. But a personal turning point led me to leave music, cut my hair, and apply for an internship with the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office.
Within a few years I was prosecuting murder cases in Chicago’s 26th and California courthouse, eventually trying more than sixty jury trials — most of them homicides. My book Convergence tells the true story of a brutal double murder that was solved in days but didn’t go to trial for four years. The case unfolded in the middle of a courthouse culture so corrupt it would later trigger the FBI’s historic Operation Greylord investigation.
Today I share the behind-the-scenes realities of homicide trials, courtroom corruption, and the strange path that took me from rock stages to murder prosecutions.” This is his story. Listen now.
