New here? This is why I do what I do. On August 8, 2007, Amanda Lewis's 7-year-old daughter, Adrianna, drowned in the family's backyard pool in Esto, Florida. What should have been a family's worst day became a murder case. The State built its case on a medical theory that has been challenged for years. Amanda passed a polygraph. She turned down a 10-year plea deal and went to trial. In 2008 a six-person jury convicted her after a brief 2 hour deliberation, and she was sentenced to life without parole. Her case is back in court now, and people paying attention matters. I'm a fraud investigator, and I've stood with Amanda for over a decade because the evidence never added up.

Was Amanda Lewis tried for her daughter's death, or for being the kind of mom people had already decided she was? In Episode 9 of @Undisclosedpod's "The State v. Amanda Lewis," "Bad Moms," @rabiasquared and @EvidenceProf take apart the "bad mom" story told in the media and at trial. Amanda is innocent. She's spent more than 18 years in a Florida prison, and I've stood with her for 12. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas… freeamandalewis.com #FreeAmandaLewis

August 9, 2007. Day two. Amanda Lewis came back and sat with investigators again. She also passed a polygraph. People who are hiding something tend to stop talking. Amanda never did. I've been in her corner for 12 years, and I believe her. She is innocent. #FreeAmandaLewis

Should a seven-year-old have been allowed to take the stand at all? In Episode 8 of @Undisclosedpod's "The State v. Amanda Lewis," "Kids Say the Darndest Things," @rabiasquared and @EvidenceProf walk through the competence hearing for the State's youngest witness. Amanda is innocent. She's been in prison more than 18 years, and I've stood with her for 12. 🎧 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas… freeamandalewis.com #FreeAmandaLewis

Glynn Simmons spent 48 years in an Oklahoma prison for something he didn't do. A court declared him actually innocent in 2023. He had only a few years of freedom before cancer took him at 72. Those of us who love someone inside know that math by heart. Every year a case sits unread is a year nobody gives back. Rest now, Mr. Simmons. Lord, bring the rest of them home faster. #WrongfulConviction

Late on the night of August 8, 2007, hours after losing her little girl, Amanda Lewis sat down with sheriff's investigators. No time to grieve. Just a mother answering their questions. That's what cooperation looks like. Amanda has been in a Florida prison for more than 18 years. She is innocent. #FreeAmandaLewis

A short check before you pay any invoice that "changed banks": call the vendor on a number you already have, not the one in the email. Business email compromise works because the message looks routine. Your phone call is the one thing a scammer can't fake.

The medical examiner who did Adrianna's autopsy never took the stand at Amanda Lewis's trial. So who did? In Episode 7 of @Undisclosedpod's "The State v. Amanda Lewis," "Avoiding a Confrontation," @rabiasquared and @EvidenceProf look at the surrogate medical examiner who testified instead, and bring in their own expert to review the evidence. I've stood with Amanda for 12 years. She is innocent, and she has spent more than 18 years in a Florida prison. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas… freeamandalewis.com/ #FreeAmandaLewis

In June 2007, Florida's Medical Examiners Commission voted unanimously to recommend removing Dr. Charles Siebert after finding negligence in 39 of 698 autopsies he did. Two months later, he did Adrianna Hutto's autopsy. Amanda Lewis is innocent. #FreeAmandaLewis theledger.com/story/news/200…

Tonight a lot of wrongly convicted people are lying awake in a cell, still innocent, still waiting for someone to read the file again. Freedom rarely comes from one big moment. It comes from ordinary people who refuse to forget a name: a lawyer who rereads the record, a student who finds the missing report, a neighbor who keeps asking. Pray for them tonight. Then pick one case and learn it. #WrongfulConviction

Two months before Adrianna Hutto drowned, a Florida commission recommended removing Dr. Siebert, the medical examiner who would go on to do her autopsy. His findings still went to Amanda Lewis's jury, and he never testified. Amanda is innocent. #FreeAmandaLewis

Found an account you never opened? Don't panic, and don't pay anyone to "fix" it. My free @bot walks you through recovery one step at a time: IdentityTheft.gov report, credit freezes at all 3 bureaus, fraud alerts, dispute letters. It reminds you to follow up after 30 days. x.ai/bot/ApHH1-V3dhZoHoxQGoM…

Who was the medical examiner in Amanda Lewis's trial, and why did his own work end up under review? In Episode 6 of @Undisclosedpod's "The State v. Amanda Lewis," "Dr. Funny Bone," @rabiasquared and @EvidenceProf trace his rise and fall, and how his theory of Adrianna's death was discredited. I've stood with Amanda for 12 years. She is innocent, and she has spent more than 18 years in a Florida prison. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas… freeamandalewis.com/ #FreeAmandaLewis

A city in Connecticut just agreed to pay $16.5 million to a man whose 1995 murder conviction was overturned in 2022. It's New Haven's third wrongful conviction settlement this year. People hear a number like that and think windfall. Families with someone inside hear it differently. Twenty-seven years of birthdays, funerals, and Sunday mornings don't have a price, and no check gives them back. The cheaper, kinder thing is to get it right the first time. Tonight I'm praying for the ones still waiting. #WrongfulConviction

Four dates in Amanda Lewis's case: Aug 8, 2007: her daughter Adrianna drowns in the family pool in Esto, Florida. Oct 11, 2007: Amanda is indicted. Feb 22, 2008: after about two hours of deliberation, lunch included, she's convicted. Mar 17, 2008: she's sentenced to life. That's seven months from a mother's worst day to a life sentence. She is innocent, and I've stood with her for 12 years. #FreeAmandaLewis

Fraud investigator here. The schemes change every year, but the red flags don't: 1. Someone is rushing you. 2. They want an odd way to pay, like gift cards, crypto, a wire, or a courier. 3. They ask you to keep it quiet, even from the bank or your family. 4. The story falls apart when you call back on a number you looked up yourself. If you see two of these, stop. Real problems will still be there in an hour.

Sunday night in Alaska, and it's already dark. Somewhere tonight a person who didn't do it is awake in a cell, counting years instead of days. Their family set a place at the table today anyway. Wrongful convictions don't end at the prison gate. They follow the mothers, the kids, the people who keep writing letters and making calls. Faith is what keeps a lot of us going. If you've never looked at one of these cases, start with one. One name, one honest look at the evidence. That's how every exoneration began. #WrongfulConviction #FreeAmandaLewis

Before trial, prosecutors offered Amanda Lewis a deal: plead guilty to manslaughter and serve 10 years. She said no. Taking it meant saying she hurt her daughter, and she didn't. Had she signed, she would have been home years ago. Instead she has spent more than 18 years in a Florida prison for refusing to say something that wasn't true. Amanda is innocent, and I've stood with her for 12 years. #FreeAmandaLewis

Getting out is not the end of the story. It's the start of a new, hard chapter, and nobody understands that better than the people who've lived it. If you've been freed or exonerated, please add your voice to this before 10/31. They're paying participants for their time, and what you share helps shape what support looks like for the next person coming home.

Medicare open enrollment runs through Dec 7, and so does scam season. The calls sound official: your card is expiring, you qualify for a free brace, we just need to verify your Medicare number. Medicare won't call out of the blue asking for that number. After years working fraud cases, here's the tell I trust most: a real agency gives you time. A scammer gives you a deadline. Hang up, call the number on the back of your card, and check your Medicare statements for anything you never got.

One autopsy report from this medical examiner described a woman's "prostate gland and testes." Another claimed organs were sliced open that a second pathologist found intact (The Ledger, 2007). His work was used to convict Amanda Lewis. She's has already served more than 18 years. #FreeAmandaLewis
