Slow cookers are great! They've been pooh-poohed by the "foodies" since they came out but that's just plain stupid. I recently did much the same thing with a pork shank. No marination needed as after scorching the six sides, I added chicken stock, soy sauce, Chinese red rice wine, some onion and some garlic and let it simmer overnight. The next morning the bones fell out! After fishing them out of the sauce, I pulled out the meat, chopped it up, put it back in the pot and served it over rice for a school pot luck lunch. Most satisfactory!
