The New Yorker: In The Dark

Illustrations for “In The Dark” podcast series produced by The New Yorker magazine.

In the spring of 2006, a small group of U.S. Marines appeared to be in grave legal jeopardy. The previous November, they had killed twenty-four civilians in Haditha, Iraq. The military launched an investigation, and President Bush promised that the public would see its results. The incident attracted widespread media coverage, but the attention faded, and the cases against the Marines quietly unravelled. In the end, no one served a day in prison.

The killings and their aftermath are the subject of the third season of In the Dark, the award-winning podcast hosted by Madeleine Baran.
