Michael J. Mooney is a staff writer at D Magazine and the author of The Life and Legend of Chris Kyle.\n\n\u201cThere are some elements of crime stories that are so absurd that it\u2019s funny, and so working on the \u201cHow Not to Get Away With Murder\u201d story, it was actually really funny thinking about it for a long time. Until I met Nancy Howard, the woman who was shot in the face and has one eye now. This is her entire life, and it was destroyed. This is not a crime story to her, it\u2019s her life.\u201d\n\nThanks to MailChimp, Feverborn, Audible, and Squarespace for sponsoring this week's episode.\n\nShow Notes:\n@MooneyMichaelJ\nmichaeljmooney.com\nMooney on Longform\n[5:00] "The Most Amazing Bowling Story Ever" (D Magazine \u2022 Jul 2012)\n[10:00] "The Real Girlfriend Experience" (New Times \u2022 Sep 2008)\n[17:00] "The New Glenn Beck" (D Magazine \u2022 Nov 2014)\n[23:00] "The Day Kennedy Died" (D Magazine \u2022 Nov 2008)\n[32:00] "How Not to Get Away With Murder" (D Magazine \u2022 Dec 2014)\n[33:00] "When Lois Pearson Started Fighting Back" (D Magazine \u2022 Jun 2012)\n[37:00] "The Legend of Chris Kyle" (D Magazine \u2022 Apr 2013)\n[42:00] "In the Crosshairs" (Nicholas Schmidle \u2022 The New Yorker \u2022 Jun 2013)\n[44:00] "Blindsided: The Jerry Joseph Basketball Scandal" (GQ \u2022 Jun 2011)\n[44:00] "The Kid Who Wasn\u2019t There" (Wright Thompson \u2022 ESPN \u2022 Apr 2012)\n[44:00] Into the Wild (Jon Krakauer \u2022 Anchor Books \u2022 1997)\n[44:30] "Trial By Fire" (David Grann \u2022 The New Yorker \u2022 Sep 2009)\n[50:35] "My Brother, the Murderer" (D Magazine \u2022 Jan 2016)\n[54:44] "Michael J.
