Law&Crime, the leading studio for true crime and legal content, is expanding its executive leadership team by hiring Marco Bresaz as Executive Vice President of Current Series & Documentaries and Debasish Mishra as Chief Technology Officer. These strategic appointments represent a significant step in Law&Crime’s ongoing transformation into a cutting-edge media powerhouse, combining traditional journalism with AI-driven innovations and audience-focused programming.
Bresaz, formerly the Head of Nonfiction & Alternative Programming at AMC Networks, has a wealth of experience in creating award-winning documentaries and unscripted series for brands like BBC America and SundanceTV. At Law&Crime, he will manage the development and execution of an expanding lineup of original docuseries and current programming projects, capitalizing on the company’s editorial expertise and exclusive access to courtroom content.
Mishra comes from leadership positions at The WNET Group and NBCUniversal, where he spearheaded digital and newsroom transformation projects. Renowned for his innovative use of AI in media processes, Mishra will oversee Law&Crime’s technological advancement across the company, enhancing the infrastructure in 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.
