Nine years ago, three young Muslim Americans were murdered in Chapel Hill in a case that received national and international attention. What was first called a “parking dispute” by police and many media outlets was eventually shown to be what the victims’ families and countless others knew immediately – that the murders were motivated by hate.
Filmmaker Tarek Albaba joins co-host Leoneda Inge to talk about his documentary about the murders, 36 Seconds: Portrait of a Hate Crime, and the fight for justice for Deah Barakat, his wife, Yusor Mohammad Abu-Salha, and her sister, Razan Mohammad Abu-Salha.
Later in the conversation, they are joined by Durham District Attorney Satana Deberry and UNC law professor Joseph Kennedy to talk about the legal case.
