In Investigation Discovery’s ‘OJ Unseen: Exploitation Of Evil,’ the primary focus is on the unseen behind-the-scenes footage of O.J. Simpson’s prank show ‘Juiced,’ created by Rick Mahr. However, before the show could see the light of day, a crew member, Harmon Leon, published an article, leading to the collapse of the scheduled release. Since he was involved in the project internally, he was able to provide intricate details and controversial facts about the shoot. Harmon also features in the four-part true-crime documentary series, recounting his experience working on the show through a critical lens.
