Until Proven Innocent

In October 2006, a four-year-old from Corpus Christi named Andrew Burd died mysteriously of salt poisoning. His foster mother, Hannah Overton, was charged with capital murder, vilified from all quarters and sent to prison for life. But was this churchgoing young woman a vicious child killer? Or had the tragedy claimed its second victim?

Press

“Until Proven Innocent is a deeply personal story, following Hannah Overton and her family through the most difficult time of their lives. It is also a critically important film, depicting a horrible injustice that should not happen, but does – far too often. If this can happen to someone as good as Hannah, it makes very clear every single citizen is only one detective or DA’s incorrect hunch away from jail time.” – Richard Linklater, Director, Boyhood

“The unbelievable tragedy of a child’s death was compounded by the prosecution of an innocent person for murder. The truth set Hannah free in the end, and ID is proud to tell the story of those who worked tirelessly to overturn her conviction.” – Kevin Bennett, Investigation Discovery GM

“Sony also went for Until Proven Innocent: The Hannah Overton Story, which examines the mysterious salt poisoning death of 4-year-old Andrew Burd.” – Sara Alessi, World Screen
