Tapes from the dark side contains descriptions of violence and sexuality.

Listener discretion is advised. If you'll recall, Lainee has two daughters and a third was on the way when her husband was tragically killed.

The host? While Daniel Schavers left. when her husband was tragically killed.

While Daniel Shaver's life ended on January 18th, 2016, less than one year later, and Laney was bringing a new life into this world.

It was back in December of 2016,

when Laney gave birth to the baby that she was carrying

as a surrogate for her close friends, Ginger and Sondrit.

Lainey describes this experience as the most physically intense thing she's ever done.

In a short video clip, we can see Lainey sitting at a birthing pool, her doula close by ready

to offer support.

The dula leans in and hugs Lainey from behind, gently massaging her shoulders.

A gold necklace adorns Lainey's neck.

The chain is pulled taut by one hand, grasping the content secured at its end.

Two sacred items, Danny's wedding band, and a small heart-shaped vial containing his ashes.

On the day in December, Laney gave birth to a healthy, beautiful baby girl named Annie. Thank you, Judge, this day calls Timothy Williams.

Timothy T. Williams Jr. would next take the stand for the prosecution.

He is an expert on police procedure and use of force.

He has provided expert testimony and analysis in over 200 cases, including the Grim Sleeper

Death Penalty Trial in LA and wrongful conviction cases such as the Inglewood Four in Chicago. You do so many swear that testimony you're about to give. We'll see the truth, the whole truth, and nothing about the truth will help you back. I do. Thank you. And what do you do further than, Mr. Williams? I'm a police procedure and use of force expert in both state and federal courts.

All right.

How long have you been an expert in those two areas?

Um, since 2003.
