Hannah Overton on Dr. Phil
Hannah Overton, who was accused and convicted of salt-poisoning her foster son, and then released in 2015 spoke out on the Dr. Phil show. I wrote about Hannah back in 2008 saying I believed her and believed that she did not cause Andrew to eat all of that salt.
I think their parenting style left a lot to be desired, frankly, but that doesn’t mean you are guilty of murder.
It’s interesting watching Hannah on Dr. Phil yesterday. What stood out most to me were her children. They did not seem happy at all. Did you notice? It makes me question why. Was it being without their mom all of these years?
I could see how her nervous laughter could easily be interpreted in a negative way. It put me off at first. The children did look sad. Her children grew along with the new advances in the world but she was left behind. I get the sense it could be more likely that unusual parenting style.
Before you post any opinions, please read the court of appeals decision. It quotes quite a bit from the trial. The Overtons and her church have done a great job on their innocence tour, but if people would read the facts, no on question that the only victim here was Andrew.
