My best friend from HS has a best childhood friend who is currently serving 50 years for felonious murder of a child. She was a child care provider and a child died in her care. But there are weird things in the story: timeline doesn't make sense, first two autopsies point to injury happening hours earlier (provider called EMS 5m after child dropped off), forensic examiner convicted of making up evidence, etc. I don't think she actually did it. But she's been in prison for over a decade.
If that woman truly did not commit the crime she's in jail for then she or her loved ones should look at www.centurionministries.org/... they do so many great things in helping innocent people.
There are people looking into it. This is her website: freetrenda.com/ The whole story is very weird. Basically, she was an unlicensed child care provider (really common in the area for SAHMs to watch other's kids). Mom dropped off the toddler and told Trenda that the kiddo was not feeling well. Within minutes she was unresponsive. Police initially investigated the brother (drug addict, trouble with law, etc), but then closed the case. A few years later, a group that looks into unsolved deaths of children investigated and the case was re-opened and the focus was on Trenda. First trial was deadlocked. Second voted to convict. "Racehorse" Haynes was her attorney. Lots of commentary in the news about the "killer babysitter", etc. Comes out later that the ME was disciplined for shoddy work in other cases.
I met Trenda several times (well before this case and after). She seems like a nice person who has made some not so smart choices in life. But the evidence just doesn't seem to fit (BF gave me the autopsies to read as a "lay expert" - for BF's benefit, not for legal reasons). Texas is notorious for convicting people on shoddy to no evidence (Clarence Brandley, anyone?). Even if she is ever found not guilty and released, her life is ruined.
