Trial & Error — Episode 15: The Most Dangerous Place
A verdict is a powerful thing to argue with. Before he was the State’s witness, Jason Kilzer was Dylan Adams’s alibi. In this episode, we go through the record: the years of denials, the federal gun charge that put him in a cell beside Dylan, the recorded warnings he gave before he flipped — and how his death in 2025, days before a hearing, left questions no one has answered. Forensic neuropsychologist Dr. Katie Spirko examines the case files, the interrogations, and the evidence the jury never saw. In this episode, she meets with Sheila Kilzer, surviving mother of Jason Kilzer, who died 08/08/2025 in an officer-involved shooting. in Henderson County, TN, while she stood watching in horror. Dr. Spirko also speaks with an inmate who shared the pod with Jason Kilzer and Dylan Adams.
