A 23-year-old woman turns up dead inside her cell at the Charleston County Jail. Medical records show she was suffering from drug withdrawal. What's not included in the medical notes is the witness testimony of a fellow inmate who questions the official narrative.
In the special Live 5 Deep Dive series, Nick Reagan and Emily Johnson lay out the hours leading up to the death of Mary Brucato and her family's fight for justice.
