The media and criminal law have a complicated relationship… the story of a salacious crime is a powerful tool to drive up news viewership numbers, while what’s being reported and how it’s portrayed can sway public perception of crimes and the parties involved. These facts are far from lost on news producer Julia George and criminal defense attorney Jake Gregorian, who have a relationship built on the ways they can benefit each other professionally. “Notorious” is inspired by true stories about Mark Gegaros and Wendy Walker, who also serve as executive producers.
