"What's worse than telling a lie? When you tell the truth and no one believes you." That's how renowned civil rights lawyer Ben Crump, who is often recognised as carrying on the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, describes the experience of too many African Americans navigating the US criminal justice system. In this episode of Four The Record, Krishnan Guru-Murthy sits down with the lawyer who has represented the families of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and Trayvon Martin, cases that transformed America's conversation about race, policing and justice. Crump explains why he has turned to fiction with his debut legal thriller, Worse Than a Lie, arguing that stories can sometimes reveal deeper truths than real life. ------- Get more news at our site - https://www.channel4.com/news/ Subscribe to our Substack newsletter: https://channel4news.substack.com/subscribe Follow us: TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@c4news Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/channel4news/ Twitter - ht
