  • Summary

  • State of Florida vs. Krishna Maharaj is an investigative journey that spans 30 years in the American justice system, beginning when a British-Trinidadian businessman was arrested for a grisly double murder in 1980s Miami. 

    The story explores police corruption, judicial abuses of power and features a trail of international players that leads all the way to the doorstep of notorious drug trafficker, Pablo Escobar. Maharaj’s epic and ongoing struggle demonstrates how it takes just minutes to brand an innocent person as a murderer, but can take decades to right that injustice. This is a story that will make you question everything.
