FRONTLINE: The Child Cases

Unearths more than 20 child death cases in which people were jailed on medical evidence. Watch Tuesday, February 21, 2012 at 9pm.

After FRONTLINE’s broadcast last year, a Texas judge has moved to overturn the conviction of Ernie Lopez. He was sent to prison for 60 years for what was seen as a “clearcut and classic” case of child abuse in the death of six-month-old Isis Vas. In this joint investigation with ProPublica and NPR, FRONTLINE correspondent A.C. Thompson unearths more than 20 child death cases in which people were jailed on medical evidence — involving abuse, assault and “shaken baby syndrome” — that was later found unreliable or flat-out wrong. Are death investigators being properly trained for child cases? Also in this magazine hour: Correspondent Martin Smith (“College Inc.”) continues to investigate for-profit colleges, this time focusing on their aggressive recruitment of veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan. Are the for-profits making promises that they can’t keep?

FRONTLINE: The Perfect Terrorist

It has been called the most spectacular terror attack since 9/11. Watch Tuesday, November 22, 2011 at 8pm.

It has been called the most spectacular terror attack since 9/11. On the night of November 26, 2008, 10 men armed with guns and grenades launched an assault on Mumbai with a military precision that left 166 dead. India quickly learned the attackers belonged to Lashkar-e-Taiba, a Pakistani militant group associated with Pakistan’s secretive intelligence agency, the ISI. But what wasn’t known then was that a Lashkar/ISI operative had been casing the city for two years, developing a blueprint for terror. His name was David Coleman Headley and he’d been chosen for the job because he had the perfect cover: He was an American citizen. FRONTLINE and ProPublica reporter Sebastian Rotella team up to investigate the mysterious circumstances behind Headley’s rise from heroin dealer and U.S. government informant to master plotter of the 2008 attack on Mumbai.
