{"type":"rich","version":"1.0","title":"The Science of Poisoning: Cyanide","description":"From Scheele’s 18th-century workbench to the modern GC-MS, cyanide remains a chemical paradox—an industrial staple with the specific molecular geometry required to dismantle human life in minutes.\n\nThe laboratory is indifferent to the persona of the perpetrator. Whether the case involves a father or a world-class researcher, their status is irrelevant once the samples reach the bench. The analytical data provides a result that is entirely independent of an individual's background or projected intent.\n\nIn this episode, we decode the clinical reality of a metabolic collapse. We break down the shift between Ferrous and Ferric iron states that creates a cellular lockout, the genetic lottery of the \"bitter almond\" scent, and the quantitative result that led to a conviction.\n\nForensic Toxicology, Cyanide Poisoning, Medical Laboratory Science, Robert Ferrante, GC-MS, Metabolic Collapse, True Crime Podcast","author_name":"The Science of Murder","author_url":"https://audioboom.com/channels/5124908-the-science-of-murder","provider_name":"Audioboom","provider_url":"https://audioboom.com","width":480,"height":95,"thumbnail_url":"https://audioboom.com/i/43582301/600x600/c","thumbnail_width":600,"thumbnail_height":600,"html":""}
