    Dec 11 2024
    On August 8, 2007, Adrianna Hutto tragically drowned in a pool. Six months later, her mother, Amanda Lewis, was convicted of first-degree murder and aggravated child abuse. The prosecution's key witness was A.J., Amanda's six-year-old son, who provided over a dozen conflicting accounts of what happened that day. Despite the inconsistencies in his testimony and questions surrounding his reliability as an eyewitness, his statements ultimately led to his mother's conviction and a life sentence without the possibility of parole. Join N. Leigh Hunt, along with forensic psychologists, as we analyze the complexities of this case and explore whether Amanda Lewis’s conviction was a miscarriage of justice.
