Description
A heartbreaking case out of Brookland, Arkansas, centers on Courtney Newsom, a mother charged with manslaughter and child endangerment after her one-year-old son, Brady, drowned in the bathtub. Newsom initially told police she left the bathroom for less than two minutes, but investigators later discovered she may have been gone for up to 15 minutes, leading to her arrest. While prosecutors allege negligence, friends and supporters insist the drowning was a tragic accident, with many rallying to support Newsom’s legal defense. Law&Crime’s Chris Stewart is On the Case.
