Detroit native Ira Lee Todd is a former police officer and criminal investigator. After being wrongfully charged with murder while working in a gang-related crimes task force within the Detroit Police Department, Ira made it his personal mission to help free the wrongly-convicted. One of his most notable cases was that of Davontae Sanford, who was wrongfully convicted of a quadruple homicide at the age of 14. In his recent conversation with Mike, Ira discusses how he became involved in criminal investigations, his wrongful murder charge, corruption within the legal system, and how he's continuing to help free the wrongfully convicted with his new STARZ program ‘Wrong Man.'
