Hannah Overton, a former missionary and mother of five is back in court this week to try to get her sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole overturned.

She is accused of murdering a four year old boy she and her husband were in the process of adopting. She is accused of forcing the boy to eat enough salt to kill him- despite the fact that he was known to have a bizzare eating habit where he would gorge himself and throw up, and would eat anything.

Hannah's defense was not allowed to bring in certain medical experts nor submit certain evidence. Now it is coming out that the prosecution attorney admits she was taking pills and is an alcholic. Even her associate charges that she was acting in a bizzare manner and was dishonest during the trial.

Hannah has spent almost five years in jail. Will this be enough to set her free?

This happened in my home town. I was there. It is my opinion that she was tried and convicted by an over-zealous child protective service, the media and public opinion.

I have never seen such hatred toward the young mother. The newspaper and TV was flooded with stories daily all slanted against Hannah.

Folks, if you’re blessed enough to have income, and you’re using FR but not donating to keep it on line, you’re riding in the cart while others are pulling it.

Take one minute out of your busy FReeping and set up a monthly donation. Even $5 helps, you probably won’t even notice it and if you do, you’ll feel good about it.

$5 a month for FR? A bargain at twice the price!!!

I saw this on one of the news magazine shows. It is so obvious that this was not something caused by neglect or malice. Who expects a kid to eat so much salt it kills him?

This whole sad story is just further proof that no good deed goes unpunished.

so the kid was portrayed as a normal boy when he had an eating disorder??

Defence not allowed to bring in evidence.....
#1 reason I can’t be on a jury.... first question outta my mouth would be “without all the information I can’t give my verdict”
I would have acquitted this lady because she has five children that depend on her.

Are all the children still with her husband?

My feeling is that child protective services went after her trying to pry the other 5 away from her so they could make bunches of money placing the children in foster care.

Free Hannah Overtonn!!!!
