Crime Does Not Pay: City of Roses

By Phil Stanford

Introducing the underbelly of Portland, Oregon. Several story lines weave a tale about the gritty underworld of the City of Roses in the 1970s. True-crime writer Phil Stanford tells true stories from Portland's underbelly. It's all true - only the names have been changed. These grimy stories, Stanford says, helps explain how power in Portland really worked. 'Everyone was crooked, everyone was very compromised,' he says. 'It's all what really happened - dirty dealers and dirty cops. But I changed some of the names to protect the guilty.'
