Episode Eight of STAYAWAKE is here!! (Headphones are recommended but not required - may need to monitor volume while viewing) As mentioned in the recent channel update - I have been slightly busier with school these past couple weeks and so I have had slightly less time to focus on this episode. This episode was actually originally intended to be a 10 minute long micro episode, however it seems to have spiralled into something much more than that. I decided to take this episode in a similar direction to the James Holmes case (Part 2&3) due to many requests for similar episodes to those in the series. I do apologize for the poor quality of the interrogation footage, this footage is actually a video of a video - I did my absolute best to clean up the audio as much as possible however the volume levels were all over the place and very hard to normalize well (my audio editing skills are not very advanced). Please bear with me as a grow and improve - I will definitely remaster and rerelease this episode as my skills advance and I have more time available! After being incarcerated Michael Swanson was also charged with another attempted murder of a fellow inmate: https://www.messengernews.net/news/local-news/2015/11/swanson-gets-25-years-for-slashing-inmate/ The years he received for this post conviction charge are included in his 2089 minimum release date. CORRECTIONS: It seems I must have glazed over this, but as I listed the items provided by the officers, I failed to notice that Michael was actually provided a lighter for his cigarettes as opposed to the book of matches requested/listed. Also! I have read speculation that you can hear the officers stating they had to purchase his meal from the Kum&Go gas station food bar as opposed to the requested McChicken and fries from McDonalds. If this is the case, Michael would have still received - A pack of Newport cigarettes, a lighter, a bottle of pop, a sandwich, and french fries. The other correction that seems to be somewhat convoluted upon research is his initial starting location. I have read multiple documents stating his family home was in Lewis Park, MN - However I have also read a handful of articles stating St. Louis Park, MN. These locations are approximately 12 minutes apart from each other so there isn't a huge difference in travel time etc but I figured I would still mention this possible mistake! PLEASE NOTE: The information surrounding this case is very convoluted and seems to change more and more as I continue to comb through articles and transcripts. There is even multiple documentary crime shows that I watched on Michael that seem to not be fully accurate - for example, the interrogating officer's name has changed multiple times throughout my research; so I had to make certain executive decisions based on the information presented by the content itself. If you have any confirmed facts that you feel may need correcting or addressing, please let me know - All of your help keeping things as accurate as possible is always appreciated!
