28-year-old Alexander Hamilton confessed in a D.C. federal court that he was guilty of filming clandestine grand jury sessions from the D.C. Superior Court.
He delved deep, unearthing the intricacies of as many as 14 separate criminal investigations, some even pertaining to cold-blooded murders.
While most of his recordings were mere audio captures, the boldness of his actions peaked when he filmed a fellow juror, unwittingly exposing them to the world.
