This week Tina is joined by Nurse Jessica Sites and ER Tech Joshua Shetterly. Together they tell the story of a nurse, Dee Winzer, who was married to a man who became a paraplegic after being hit by a bus. Many years after getting married, Winzer was accused of poising her husband. However, the evidence was shaky at best, and Dee had no apparent motive, nor was she even home when the alleged poisoning happened. They close the show with Joshua telling the heartbreaking but courageous story of his brother who died of a drug overdose.
