Episode Details

Heather Winterstein, a 24-year-old Indigenous woman, died from sepsis after being dismissed by doctors who attributed her severe pain to social issues. Despite two emergency room visits, she was sent home without proper treatment. Her family seeks a homicide ruling, alleging biases against Indigenous patients, homelessness, and mental health history played a deadly role. Experts testify that simple blood tests could have detected infection early, potentially saving her life. The jury now decides between natural causes, accident, or homicide, with implications for systemic issues affecting marginalized communities.
