Ha...Thank you for showing an interest in this case. Hannah Overton was convicted of capital murder. Andrew's foster mother of 18 months, Sharon Hamil, and her family were heartbroken over the murder of 4 year old Andrew and by the attempts of the defense attorney to villify Andrew. Sharon attended the Overton's church (that's how the Overtons met Andrew)and was overjoyed that the Overtons were adopting Andrew. Hannah was a nurse and had paramedic training. Sharon testified that she was Andrew's only foster parent and cared for him for 18 months and that he had no behavioral problems or eating disorders during the entire time that she had him (even right after coming from his biological home). Sharon was widowed and wanted Andrew to have a mother and father. It saddens me how this young child has been villified by the defense, who have come up with different excuses like he only had flu like symptoms when he was drifting in and out of consciousness for over an hour. Thank you for your kindness in taking up for children who are adopted. You are courageous!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
