Recruiting the Criminal: Difference between revisions

* According to one [[CNN]] documentary, convicted drug dealer Jimmy Keene was recruited by police to befriend convicted kidnapper Larry Hall and get him to admit to a string of serial killings that police had been unable to solve on their own, with Keene getting a reduced sentence out of the deal.

* Same as how medical shows hire doctors and military shows hire former service personnel, [[Crime Show|crime shows]] have been known to hire former criminals as consultants on an ongoing basis, to advise the actors and writers and make sure they get the details right.
