Fire on the levee : the murder of Henry Glover and the search for justice after Hurricane Katrina
The former federal prosecutor and founder of the Justice Innovation Lab tells the story of his battle to crack open a police shooting and cover-up in Hurricane Katrina-era New Orleans. In 2009, Jared Fishman was a young prosecutor working on low-level civil rights cases in the Justice Department when a file landed on his desk. That folder contained two items: a story from The Nation magazine looking into mysterious deaths in New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina, and an autopsy report for a man named Henry Glover, whose charred remains were found in a burned-out car two weeks after the storm. The autopsy report, bafflingly, listed no cause of death. But according to the Nation story, a seriously wounded Glover had last been seen in a car that had been driven away by New Orleans police officers.
