WEBVTT

1
00:00:02.480 --> 00:00:07.040
This is a preview for the second
bonus episode from season five, the Execution

2
00:00:07.080 --> 00:00:11.640
of Daniel Shaver. In this episode, we delve into the history of misconduct

3
00:00:11.759 --> 00:00:17.839
at the Amercopa County Medical Examiner's Office, specifically a one doctor Mark Shelley.

4
00:00:18.719 --> 00:00:23.519
Doctor Shelley is the one who actually
performed the autopsy on Daniel Shaver and gave

5
00:00:23.640 --> 00:00:29.280
expert testimony during the trial, but
this episode is about events that occurred seven

6
00:00:29.359 --> 00:00:34.119
years prior, when doctor Shelley was
working as a naval doctor. On a

7
00:00:34.159 --> 00:00:39.000
fateful winter night in two and eleven, doctor Shelley made a decision that would

8
00:00:39.039 --> 00:00:43.280
make national headlines, cost him his
job, and put a stain on his

9
00:00:43.439 --> 00:00:48.520
career forever. If after this teaser

side descriptions of violence than sexuality. The

20
00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:23.479
listener discretion is advised. I saw
how the fine form of man was degraded

21
00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:28.199
and wasted. I beheld the corruption
of death succeed to the blooming cheek of

22
00:02:28.280 --> 00:02:37.520
life. I saw how the worm
inherited the wonders the eye brain. In

23
00:02:37.639 --> 00:02:42.319
eighteen eighteen, author Mary Shelley,
at the ripe age of twenty, released

24
00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:46.879
what would become one of the most
revered horror fiction novels of all time and

25
00:02:46.039 --> 00:02:53.800
perhaps the first true science fiction novel. It was called Frankenstein or the Modern

26
00:02:53.840 --> 00:03:00.400
Prometheus. The titular character one Doctor
Frankenstein, creates a centing being through experimentation

27
00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:07.639
on the human brain and the subsequent
unsavory application of this forbidden knowledge. His

28
00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:13.199
creation, commonly referred to as the
Monster, was the work of doctor Frankenstein,

29
00:03:13.639 --> 00:03:17.319
just as the fictional character of doctor
Frankenstein was the work of author Mary

30
00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:23.840
Shelley. Nearly two hundred years later, the true story of another individual with

31
00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:28.719
the same surname, a doctor Mark
Shelley, would find himself in a situation

32
00:03:28.919 --> 00:03:32.599
of his own creation, one much
different than the fictional story of Frankenstein,

33
00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:39.439
but yet also involving a disembodied brain. The decisions that the real life doctor

34
00:03:39.479 --> 00:03:45.159
Shelley made on that fateful night in
the winter of two thousand and eleven would

35
00:03:45.159 --> 00:03:49.840
come to forever meyer his career in
scandal. I've come to believe that it's

36
00:03:49.879 --> 00:03:53.919
not just a saying. Truth really
is stranger than fiction, and after the

37
00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:59.159
story, I think you'll agree.
Today, I want to share with you

38
00:03:59.199 --> 00:04:03.360
the real story of doctor Mark Shelley, once esteemed and decorated medical examiner for

39
00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:10.840
the United States Navy, and his
downfall to disgrace Doctor on this tape from

40
00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:12.800
the Dark Side.
