Murder by Cajun seasoning?
BevK September 25th, 2007
This is just a horror story no matter what you think really happened.
A mother of five is serving a life sentence in the death of a 4-year-old child she and her husband were adopting because a Texas jury believed she forced him to drink Zatarain’s Cajun Seasoning and delayed getting the boy emergency medical attention.
Hannah Overton was convicted this month in Corpus Christi. Jury selection in the trial of her husband, Larry, is set to begin Oct. 1.
But those who know the Overtons best aren’t buying the prosecution’s story and, in fact, believe evidence was distorted and doctored by district attorney’s office, police department, child protective services and the news media to railroad the homeschooling, Christian couple.
