LIVER INSTEAD OF SPLEEN: FL SURGEON CHARGED, SIGN'S 'SUICIDE' UNRAVELS, KAREN READ HIT WITH LAWSUIT

About this episode

The episode discusses a Florida surgeon charged with manslaughter for removing the wrong organ, the unresolved death of anchor Christopher Sign, and a defamation lawsuit involving Karen Reed.

A surgeon who took out the wrong organ. An anchor's death his family never accepted. And four witnesses finally firing back at Karen Reed. A Florida surgeon is indicted for manslaughter after allegedly removing a seventy-year-old patient's liver instead of his spleen — and his lawyer says it's not the first wrong organ he's pulled out. Nearly five years after Birmingham anchor Christopher Sign was found hanged in his home office, his family still refuses to accept the suicide ruling — no full autopsy, a forty-eight-hour cremation, a widow who allegedly told his sister 'this was a terrible mistake.' And four witnesses from the Karen Reed trials just sued Reed and the blogger Turtleboy for defamation. Garret Fisher breaks down three stories where the official version isn't holding.
