Welcome to True Crime Brewery. I'm Jill. And I'm Dick. So today we have a fascinating case we've been working on for a while and lots of great feedback. So I'm

really glad that you've joined us today, and I think you will be too. So this story begins with a

question that plagued investigators, doctors, and a jury. How did the life of an infant end?

And how can we tell who was responsible when the science and the law collide?

In the hours, days, and years after Garrett-Michael Wilson's death,

explanations moved from natural causes to something far more deliberate and sinister.

So as grief gave way to scrutiny and accusation, a case that had been a family tragedy

led to criminal prosecution, although it did take a while. Quite a while. Quite a while. So

join us for crime or tragedy, the Garrett Wilson story. In this episode, we follow the evidence

that moved the case from the realm of unexplained

loss into a courtroom, the testimony that carried extraordinary weight, and the decisions

that closed the case officially while leaving lasting questions behind.

So this is not a story about reopening a verdict, but about understanding how investigators in courts decided that a particular death was actually a crime. And Dick has brought us a really yummy beer today. I have, although you might not think so because you're not a big fan of smoky beers. Yeah, but I've had this one, and I do like it because of the chocolate, I think. Well, we're going to drink a beer called Heavy Seas Smoke on the Water from Heavy Seas

brewing in Maryland. And as I said, this is a smoked beer. It's about 8% alcohol by volume.

So in my pint glass, my trusty pint glass, it's a black and color beer with a nicely sized tan head. Got a great

aroma, chocolate roasted malt. I thought it almost smelled like a wood fire, campfire. Sweet chocolate

taste, maybe a little too much on the sweet side, and then late taste of smoke. And that persisted.

And you can really feel it in your mouth. So I thought this is a good beer. Yeah, you thought maybe a little too sweet. I didn't. I thought it was really good. Some of the times we don't agree too much on beer. Well, that is true. But yeah, I'm glad you like it because it's a pretty good beer. Okay. Well, how about opening it up so I can drink it, keep my throat lubricated as I talk because we're going to be doing a lot of talking.

Yes, we are.
