| 0:00.0 | Hey everyone, I want to tell you about a podcast that we think you'll enjoy called Suspect, Five Shots in the Dark. |
| 0:07.5 | The latest season looks at a case with two victims, one murdered in cold blood, and one imprisoned for a crime he did not commit. |
| 0:15.3 | It follows the story of Leon Benson, a man who spent more than half his life, a total of 24 years in an Indiana |
| 0:21.7 | state prison for the murder of Casey Shane, who was a man he never met. |
| 0:27.0 | Casey was murdered in the middle of August, shot point blank while idling in his Dodge pickup |
| 0:31.9 | in North Indianapolis. |
| 0:33.6 | There was no physical evidence, no motive, and no one coming forward with information, |

| 1:10.9 | podcast. You can binge listen suspect ad free on Wondery Plus. A long time ago, I remember |
| 1:17.9 | watching an episode of Oprah about eyewitness testimony. Actually, I haven't been able to find |
| 1:22.9 | the episode in question online. This would have been like three decades ago when I was a kid, |
| 1:28.3 | home from school, watching TV. It's entirely possible I imagine parts of it. But in my memory, |
| 1:34.9 | Oprah, without telling anyone, has this guy run on stage and snatch up a purse belonging to one |
| 1:40.3 | of the panelists. And then afterwards, Oprah asks everyone to identify the thief, but no one can. |
| 1:47.6 | Each person Oprah asks, they've got a different answer as to what the guy looked like. |
