Jamil Smith won three Emmys for his production work with HBO Sports and NFL Films. Now he's producing hard-hitting segments on The Rachel Maddow Show and passionately blogging on hot-button issues, like Troy Davis' execution. Smith says, "Justice isn't justice if it's blind to the facts. What I hope to do through my work with the show is to help Americans examine the close relationship between power, privilege and public policy, using the most useful information we can provide."
