Episode 1 - State of Florida v. James Milton Dailey, Part 2: 40 Years of Gaming the System

Welcome to Season 4 of Based in Fact: A True Crime Podcast. We’re your hosts, Lisa O’Brien and Kyle Evans and this is Episode 1, State of Florida v. James Milton Dailey, Part 2. Guest co-host Rick Mullenax joins us to wrap up our look at the case against James Milton Dailey, who was convicted and sentenced to death for the May 5, 1985 murder of teenager Shelly Elizabeth Boggio. We’ll pick up where we left off in Part 1 with a look at Dailey’s renewed federal habeas efforts and four Motions to Vacate his conviction and sentence pursued in state court. Rick founded Burn After Reading, the YouTube channel that started with a deep dive into the West Memphis Three case and has expanded to shine a light on the shadier aspects of social media coverage of true crime, including the disappearance of Maura Murray and the murders of Libby German and Abby Williams by Richard Allen in Delphi, Indiana.
