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.

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

Did Adrianna tumble into the pool from her wagon? That was the defense's explanation. The State claimed the efforts to revive her couldn't have caused her bruises. In Episode 5 of @Undisclosedpod's "The State v. Amanda Lewis," "Mud Boat," @rabiasquared and @EvidenceProf test both claims. 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

Those of us with loved ones inside know how it works. You learn the price of a phone call by heart. You learn which day the money posts and which forms come back for one wrong box. And you learn that families are easy marks, because they’ll pay almost anything to help someone they love. Tonight there's news of an arrest in a fraud scheme built around bonds and fees for inmates. It doesn't surprise any of us. If you know a family carrying someone inside, check on them this week. Love shows up in small, faithful ways. #PrisonReform #freeamandalewis

At 10:26 PM on August 8, 2007, the same night her daughter Adrianna drowned, Amanda Lewis was sitting across from sheriff's investigators answering their questions. She talked to them again the next day. She passed a polygraph. She has said the same thing for more than 18 years: she did not hurt her child. That's not someone hiding from the truth. Amanda is innocent, and I've stood with her for 12 years. freeamandalewis.com #FreeAmandaLewis

A charity that handled about $3.4 million in 2019 was moving nearly $200 million by 2021. That's the Feeding Our Future case, according to the Justice Department. More than 250 meal sites claimed to be feeding thousands of children a day. The money went to luxury cars, real estate, and travel. In every fraud case I've worked, the first warning sign looked the same: growth nobody could explain, and nobody asked about. When the money grows faster than the people, the building, or the work ever could, ask the question. Out loud. Early. #FraudAwareness

A bruise turned into a theory. The medical examiner's assistant claimed the marks on Adrianna's face came from Amanda's left hand holding her under the water. In Episode 4 of @Undisclosedpod's "The State v. Amanda Lewis," "The Iron Claw," @rabiasquared and @EvidenceProf put that theory to the test. I've fought for Amanda for 12 years. She is innocent, and she's spent more than 18 years in a Florida prison. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas… freeamandalewis.com/ #FreeAmandaLewis

You don't need a law degree to stand up for someone. I'm not a lawyer. I'm a mom in Alaska who read one case and couldn't look away. That was 12 years ago. Every exoneration starts with somebody ordinary who refused to let it go. A mom, a neighbor, a pen pal, a stranger who asked "wait, how is this possible?" If someone you love is inside and you feel too small to matter, you're not. Your voice counts. Your letters count. Your showing up counts. "Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves." Proverbs 31:8 #FreeAmandaLewis

On February 22, 2008, six jurors decided Amanda Lewis's future. They deliberated for about two hours, and that included lunch. The State's case rested on a medical theory that has been challenged for years. Two hours was all it took to send a mother away for life without parole. More than 18 years later, Amanda is still waiting for someone to take a longer look. I've fought for her for 12 years. She is innocent. freeamandalewis.com/ #FreeAmandaLewis

Florida tried to remove him. He stayed on and did the autopsy that sent Amanda Lewis to prison for life. This is the story of that autopsy. The full story is in one read 👇 #FreeAmandaLewis

Imagine losing your child in a tragic accident… then losing your freedom for it too. Amanda Lewis has spent more than 18 years in a Florida prison for a drowning that was never murder. She passed a polygraph, turned down a plea, and never changed her story. Her appeal is finally open (Case 1D2026-3058). She’s waited long enough. Will you stand with her? #FreeAmandaLewis freeamandalewis.com

Crime Junkie is the #2 podcast in America. Dateline NBC is #8, Rotten Mango #9, MrBallen #11, Morbid #12 (Edison Research, Q3 2026). Millions of people listen to criminal cases every week, and most of those cases are closed. The ones that need listeners most are still open: someone in prison, a conviction that doesn't hold up, and a family waiting for anyone to look. This week, give one innocence podcast the hour you'd give a closed case! @Undisclosedpod @nleighhunt

Three feet of water. The prosecution claimed that wasn't deep enough for Adrianna to drown by accident, and that she was too afraid of water to go near the pool. In Episode 3 of @Undisclosedpod's "The State v. Amanda Lewis," "Boiling Frog," @rabiasquared and @EvidenceProf take both claims apart. I've fought for Amanda for 12 years. She is innocent, and she's spent more than 18 years in a Florida prison. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas… freeamandalewis.com/ #FreeAmandaLewis

Fraud investigator here, and this number stops me cold. Of the 97 exonerations the National Registry of Exonerations recorded in 2025, 31 were for crimes that never happened! Accidents. Self-defense. Accusations that were made up. No crime. Still convicted. Those 97 people lost 1,373 years in total. Official misconduct showed up in 72% of the cases, and false or misleading forensic evidence in 40%. In my work, the first question is always whether anything wrong actually happened. Too often in courtrooms, nobody asks it. #WrongfulConviction #Exonerated #JusticeReform

A Pennsylvania woman spent three nights in jail and now faces up to six years in prison over a $1,000 Cash App scam in Arkansas, a state she says she's never set foot in. The account had her Social Security number and birthdate on it. But according to 404 Media's reporting, the address, phone number, phone model, and cell carrier tied to it didn't match her. In fraud work, a name on an account is where an investigation starts, not where it ends. Stolen identities are how these scams operate. Checking whether the details actually fit should happen before a warrant, not after an arrest. Her case is still open.

Fraud investigator here. A Florida dad was arrested at gunpoint and charged with a felony for "fleeing" an officer he never saw. The proof he was innocent sat in his Tesla the whole time. It took two years to clear him. In my work, you check the objective evidence before you accuse anyone. Footage, records, timestamps. It should be the same before someone's freedom is on the line.
