Summary

In August 2007, emergency service workers arrived at a home in Florida to find seven-year-old Adrianna Hutto in a critical condition. It looked as though she had drowned in the families pool. But Adrianna's six-year-old brother had a different version of events. In this episode, we are joined by N Leigh Hunt, journalist and host of the 'In Esto' podcast, which offers a deep dive into the evidence surrounding this case. And there is one important question - should the testimony of a small child be enough to lock someone away for life? This is REAL.

Inesto. I listened to it. I was blown away by the access and the detail that Enli has put into
