Law&Crime, the top true crime and legal content studio, announces a major expansion of its executive leadership team with the hiring of Marco Bresaz as Executive Vice President of Current Series & Documentaries and Debasish Mishra as Chief Technology Officer. These strategic additions mark a significant milestone in Law&Crime”s continued transformation into a next-generation media powerhouse — melding traditional reporting with AI innovation and viewer-driven programming.
Bresaz, formerly Head of Nonfiction & Alternative Programming at AMC Networks, brings decades of experience crafting award-winning documentary and unscripted series for brands including BBC America and SundanceTV. At Law&Crime, he will oversee the development and execution of a growing slate of original docuseries and current programming initiatives, leveraging the company’s editorial strengths and unique access to courtroom content.
Mishra joins from executive roles at The WNET Group and NBCUniversal, where he led digital and newsroom transformation initiatives. Known for pioneering uses of AI in media workflows, Mishra will lead Law&Crime’s company-wide technological evolution, optimizing infrastructure across production, digital, and social divisions.
This leadership expansion comes as Law&Crime experiences explosive digital growth. Since the launch of its groundbreaking AI-powered coverage of the Sean “Diddy” Combs trial, the network has surpassed 40 million YouTube views, reflecting unprecedented audience engagement with its trial and crime-related content. Law&Crime now regularly has three shows in YouTube’s Top 100, including Sidebar, which debuted at #5 following its Diddy trial coverage, and On the Case with Chris Stewart, which premiered in February 2025 and already ranks #47 among all YouTube podcasts.
The company also welcomed three new on-air talents this spring — Chris Stewart (On the Case with Chris Stewart), Kristin Thorne (Law&Crime Investigates), and Kennedi Walker, who leads daily YouTube breaking news updates — further bolstering its on-camera authority and appeal.
Law&Crime’s recent growth reflects its dual strength in production and digital distribution. The company has become a dominant force on YouTube, FAST, and social platforms, delivering a mix of original docuseries, live trial coverage, and viral high-action law enforcement programming. Its recent original series Jailbreak: Love on the Run hit #1 on Netflix, and it continues to create content for partners including A&E, Hulu, Amazon, Fox Nation, Wondery, and Netflix.
