  frontline: snitch | PBS
"Snitch" investigates how a fundamental shift in the country's anti-drug laws -- including federal mandatory minimum sentencing and conspiracy provisions--has bred a culture of snitching that is in many cases rewarding the guiltiest and punishing the less guilty.
Funding for the FRONTLINE program "Snitch" is provided by public television viewers, with additional funding for investigative reporting provided by The Florence and John Schumann Foundation.
With the prospect of mandatory life sentences facing many charged with drug crimes, the only option to escape their fate is to inform on someone else, resulting in unsettling cases in which minor offenders are serving harsh prison sentences.

These letters, which were provided to City Paper, offer a disturbing, unprecedented glimpse, in Hall's own words, of a master snitch in action, and a disturbing look at how willing district attorneys are to use questionable snitch testimony to win convictions in high-profile cases.

It contradicted what Ogrod had allegedly told police in 1992 and was, given the testimony of the witnesses in the case, impossible.
