About this listen
A beautiful nurse. A lethal injection. A gruesomely charred corpse.
Nothing could have shocked the sleepy community of Morgantown, West Virginia, more than the lurid details that surfaced after a house fire claimed the life of Shelly Michael's husband, Jimmy. Local authorities suspected possible arson. Then they discovered that Jimmy had been dead before the fire even started - paralyzed by a fatal dose of muscle relaxant....
Did Shelly Michael, a respected nurse and mother, kill her second husband and torch her own home? Were the rumors true that she'd had an affair with her husband's employee only two weeks before the murder? Or did she kill Jimmy simply for the insurance money? Charged with first-degree murder and first-degree arson, Shelly would never stop claiming her innocence - even to this day.

Playing with fire
Another great story by John Glatt, this woman has no remorse and deserves to be incarcerated.

unbelievable
The fact someone could do this to someone they claimed to love is unbelievable.
Hearing the details of the slow death was a hard listen. She was a nurse and knew what the drug would do to him, and still made him suffer even in his last moments. She could have made it easy on him, but she didn’t. I cannot imagine the fear going through his mind as he died, not understanding what’s happening but knowing his wife wasn’t doing anything to help him.
As for most of Glatt’s work, Grindell is narrator and does a great job
