The saga of Rick Wershe, aka "White Boy Rick" - and one FBI agent's crusade to tell the whole story, and get him out of prison.

from The Week That Was on Deadline Detroit · host Craig Fahle / Deadline Detroit

Craig speaks with Gregg Schwarz, a retired Supervisory Special Investigator with the FBI about his 30 year attempt to help Rick Wershe, aka "White Boy Rick". Wershe was sentenced to life in prison without parole for drug dealing when he was still a teenager back in 1988.
