But that was only the beginning. What Jack uncovered was a rabbit hole of alleged assault, corruption, cover-ups, and murder. A story so unbelievable it made headlines around the globe and left him questioning everything he thought he knew.

Transcript

This call is from a correctional facility and is subject to monitoring and recording.

Three years ago, Jack Lawrence started a podcast called One Minute Remaining, documenting conversations with incarcerated people across the United States.

From drugs to arson, assaults and murders, even wrongful convictions, he thought he'd heard it all.

That was until he met a man suing Sean P.

Diddy Combs for $100 million.

This is in the matter of Derek Lee Cardello-Smith versus Sean Combs, Sean Puff Diddy Combs, also known as Sean P.

Diddy.

There's a guy named Derek Lee Cardello-Smith, a Michigan man who's incarcerated.

He has now been awarded a $100 million judgment against Sean Diddy Combs for sexual assault.

The claims being made by Derek Lee Cardello-Smith were nothing short of mind-blowing.

Tales of corruption, murder.

They tried to hire me to kill a Detroit police officer's wife.

Her name was Rose Cott.

A sexual assault, and ultimately, what he says was his own wrongful imprisonment.

This is literally the woman who destroyed my life after her life was destroyed.

It was a story like nothing Jack Lawrence had ever documented before.

And whenever he started to doubt what he was hearing, Derek would point to legal documents, paperwork, even news articles that seemed to back him up.

Do you even believe this guy and what he's saying?

Dude, I don't know what to believe anymore.

Like, honestly, one minute he's telling me this thing that cannot be true, and then I google it and there it is in black and white.

He's telling the truth.

Holy shit.

Jack, what is going on?

This is not just another prison story.

It made headlines around the world and left Jack questioning everything.

Hi, Jack.

I feel like I'm part of some sort of twilight zone right now, I'll be honest.

So, if you think you've heard it all before when it comes to crime stories, trust me, you haven't heard anything like this.

You're on the cost.

You're on the cost of something extremely huge.
