Warning: This episode contains strong language.

The Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department — founded to focus on fighting race-based discrimination — has drastically changed the kinds of cases it pursues, dropping or setting aside many already in progress.

Sarah Koenig from Serial Productions tells the story of Kristie Metcalfe — her civil rights case and how it was squandered.
