This is a preview for the second bonus episode from Season 5, The Execution of Daniel

Shaver.

In this episode, we delve into the history of misconduct at the Maricopa County Medical

Examiner's Office, specifically a one Dr. Mark Shelley.

Dr. Shelley is the one who actually performed the autopsy on Daniel Shaver

and gave expert testimony during the trial. But this episode is about events that occurred

seven years prior, when Dr. Shelley was working as a naval doctor. On a fateful winter night

in 2011, Dr. Shelley made a decision that would make national headlines, cost him his job, and put a stain on his career forever.

If after this teaser you want to hear the full episode, it'll be on Patreon, ad-free, where you can also hear every episode in our back catalog, also add-free, and

a pristine 320 kilobytes-per-second audio quality.

I'm also making an effort now to put out more consistent exclusive Patreon episodes.

My goal is twice a month bonus content of some kind, whether that's an interview after show

or a bonus episode like this one.

The support we get on there helps us to continue making this kind of independent deep dive

true crime content.

Every single dollar truly makes a difference.

Thank you to everyone who supports us.
