BURDEN OF PROOF

Wealthy retiree Scott McAda is feeling desperate after his courtroom showdown with serial killer William “Wild Bill” Holbert goes horribly awry. In Scott’s mind, he has only two options left: petition for a rare second courtroom faceoff, or flee Panama for the States with his wife aboard their boat. Both options are extremely risky and neither definitively proves his innocence. Can Scott finally win a legal round in his epic battle with Wild Bill? Is it too late for Scott to find the one bit of irrefutable evidence that can give him back his life?  For more: * Details on the show or Treefort: http://naturalselection.fm/ [http://naturalselection.fm/] * To follow Candice: https://www.instagram.com/candicedelong00 [https://www.instagram.com/candicedelong00] For ad sales inquiries, please contact: partnerships@glassboxmedia.com [partnerships@glassboxmedia.com] Learn more about your ad choices.

COURTING DISASTER

The stakes are high for Scott McAda as he faces off against William “Wild Bill” Holbert in a Panamanian courtroom. The wealthy retiree is confident that his meticulous preparation will bring him justice and reveal he is telling the truth, not the avowed murderer in shackles sitting across the table. But, once again, Scott underestimates his nemesis – as the serial killer lobs a new accusation at him. The latest claim from Wild Bill leaves Scott reeling, with his entire defense seemingly shattered, Scott fears he is out of options in the quest to clear his name. Scott remains under country arrest in Panama, but his big boat is quite capable of getting the McAda's back to the States, should they choose to flee.
