Scott Dozier: The Death Row Inmate Who Begged the State to Kill Him
Scott Raymond Dozier was sentenced to death for the murder of Jeremiah Miller, but his story is unlike almost any other death-row case. Dozier didn't spend his final years fighting for his freedom. He repeatedly told the courts that he wanted to die. He waived appeals, pushed Nevada to carry out his execution, and even offered alternatives when the state struggled to find a method it could legally use. But Nevada had a problem. The state's proposed execution drugs sparked legal challenges, pharmaceutical companies fought to prevent their medications from being used, and judges questioned whether the proposed method could cause extreme suffering. As Dozier waited on death row, the question became bigger than his own fate: What happens when a condemned prisoner wants the state to execute him? And before we get to the bizarre final chapter of Scott Dozier's life, we have to go back to the beginning—because his death sentence was connected to two men whose lives ended violently: Jasen "Griffin" Greene and Jeremiah Miller. In this episode of Lauren's Little Murder Club , we explore the murders, the investigation, Dozier's death sentence, his disturbing desire to be executed, the battle over Nevada's lethal-injection protocol, and the tragic ending that came before the state ever carried out his sentence. Grab your coffee, lock your doors, and settle in… because this one is unlike any death-row story we've covered before. ⚠️ This episode contains discussions of murder, dismemberment, suicide, and execution. Listener discretion is advised.
