A deadly plane crash, three grieving widows, and the government desperate to keep its secrets hidden. In this episode of Hidden Verdicts, we uncover the story behind United States v. Reynolds - the first case to establish the “states secrets’ privilege. What started as a quest for justice turned into a battle over national security, as the U.S. government invoked secrecy to avoid revealing the truth about the crash. Join us as we dive into the cover-up, the courtroom drama, and the lasting impact this case has had on transparency and justice in America.
