12 years of fighting for Amanda, and today I got to see it on a court docket: her appeal is officially OPEN at Florida's First District Court of Appeal. 🙏 Amanda E. Lewis v. State of Florida, 1D2026-3058. Filed Oct 13 by her attorney, Natlie Figgers. More than 18 years in prison, and she is INNOCENT! This is the moment we've prayed for, and we need this community now more than ever. Learn her story, stand with her, and follow along at freeamandalewis.com @nleighhunt #FreeAmandaLewis

Two of my favorite podcasts in one episode. Colin Miller (@EvidenceProf) of Undisclosed sat down with @nleighhunt for a two-part In Esto bonus on Amanda's case. Part 1 is all about new evidence and a new appeal. Amanda has served more than 18 years in Florida and still maintains her innocence. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas… freeamandalewis.com #FreeAmandaLewis

I applied to Georgetown's Making an Exoneree program on Amanda's behalf. This episode is what came next. Dr. Amanda Lewis (yes, same name, a different woman) tells @nleighhunt how Georgetown took up Amanda Lewis's case. Esto, Florida. In Esto Bonus: "Dr. Amanda Lewis | Georgetown University's Making an Exoneree Program." @xoner8ed podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas… freeamandalewis.com/ #FreeAmandaLewis

Were her lungs tested? Was the inner ear checked for water? A veteran death investigator goes back through the autopsy. Esto, Florida. @nleighhunt and @JoScottForensic, host of Body Bags, dig into Dr. Charles Siebert Jr.'s autopsy of Adrianna and the drowning indicators that may be missing from it.

I never meant to post these. They're private moments, not content. But Amanda's been waiting years for people to actually look at her and her case, and sometimes showing up means showing the real stuff. Have you ever believed in someone when no one else would? @nleighhunt @EvidenceProf freeamandalewis.com #FreeAmandaLewis"

Holmes County never tested the pool water. The medical examiner had been removed from duty before. A veteran death investigator reviews the autopsy. Esto, Florida. @nleighhunt sits down with @JoScottForensic, host of Body Bags, on Dr. Charles Siebert Jr.'s findings, who controls a death scene, and why testing the pool water mattered.

She studies how kids remember, and how interviews shape what they say. A six-year-old's words became the case. She walked through every question. Esto, Florida. @nleighhunt sits down with Dr. Kamala London on memory, suggestibility, and AJ's interviews.

Part 2 with Amanda's mother. She and Paw Chuck took AJ to the sheriff. There's more she wants on the record. Esto, Florida. @nleighhunt and I sit down again with Brenda Burns. In Esto Bonus, "Grandma Brenda's Recollections," Pt 2. spreaker.com/episode/6633996… freeamandalewis.com/

He was her public defender. Years later, he says it's the one case he'll remember for the rest of his life. Esto, Florida. Georgetown's Making an Exoneree program sat down with Walter Smith, the lawyer who stood beside Amanda Lewis at trial. What stays with a defense attorney after a verdict like this one?

Scheduled for 4 days. A six-person jury, controversial from the start. A 6-year-old ruled a reliable witness, on the stand against his mother. A game-changing story that threatened the prosecution's case. Esto, Florida. In less than two hours, the jury came back. Could you decide a mother's whole life that fast? In Esto Ep 6 — "Life Without Parole." @nleighhunt @EvidenceProf @Undisclosedpod nleighhunt.com/INESTOPODCAST… freeamandalewis.com/ #FreeAmandaLewis #WrongfulConviction

Who is Amanda Lewis? In 2007, her 7-year-old daughter Adrianna drowned in a backyard pool in Esto, Florida. Amanda called 911. The first look said accident. Then her 6-year-old son told more than 10 versions of that day. A fired medical examiner did the autopsy. Amanda passed two polygraphs and was sentenced to life without parole. Her attorney Natlie Figgers is fighting for her, alongside the Free Amanda team: @nleighhunt and Colin Miller (@EvidenceProf) of @Undisclosedpod. I've been her advocate for 11 years.

Fired by the Medical Commission. Removed from duty by the governor. Then handed Adrianna's autopsy. Esto, Florida. Who said how a 7-year-old died? @nleighhunt and I dig into Dr. Charles Siebert. In Esto Ep 5 — "Dr. Funny Bones." podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas… freeamandalewis.com/

A search warrant. Army men. Tree cutters. Cartoons. Anything to back up a 6-year-old's stories. Esto, Florida. The sheriff tells the press a different version. Coroner pulled. Again. In Esto Ep 4 — "The Lucky Seven." @nleighhunt podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas… freeamandalewis.com/

Little Adrianna doesn’t come home. AJ is still at the station. Past bedtime. Talking to CPS. Esto, Florida. They bring her mother back. More questions. A polygraph. The yard again. The sheriff is already talking to the press. In Esto Ep 3 — “Back at the Double Wide.” nleighhunt.com/INESTOPODCAST… @nleighhunt

Adrianna is on a helicopter. Grandmother takes her little brother to the sheriff. Esto, Florida. A 6-year-old. More than 12 stories. No mother. No CPS. Then no blood relative in the room.
