Thank you for your concern for Hannah Overton and for justice.   If you are convinced of Hannah's innocence, or have serious doubts about whether justice was served, is imperative for you to take action.

Taking all the steps below may take an hour of your time, but consider this: Hannah Overton has a LIFE SENTENCE WITHOUT PAROLE due to this miscarriage of justice.  Take whatever steps you can.  Your letters will make a difference.  

1. Write a letter to the editor of the Corpus Christi Caller Times --  click the "Senior Management" tab on the contact form, then to select the radio button next to "Shane Fitzgerald" or "Patrick Birmingham":  http://www.caller.com/contactus/
   

Sample letter:

I am writing to demand true justice for Hannah Overton.  Recent objective media coverage suggests that she was wrongly convicted.  As a citizen concerned about justice and families, I demand that her sentence be overturned or that she be granted a new trial.   Our democracy hinges on our faith in our justice system, which is based on the principle that the accused is innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.   That principle was clearly absent in this case.

7. File a complaint with the Texas State Bar Association. File a complaint against the District Attorney of Corpus Christi, Carlos Valdez, and the prosecuting attorney, Sandra Eastwood.  Valdez violated the judge’s gag order and made false statements to the media.  Eastwood perjured herself in the November 15, 2007 hearing where she under oath swore that Dr. Cortes never expressed his view that Andrew Burg's death was accidental.  Her withholding of that information is a Brady violation.    Get a grievance form here: http://www.texasbar.com/Template.cfm?Section=Client_Attorney_Assistance&Template=/ContentManagement/ContentDisplay.cfm&ContentID=3961  Mailing address: Texas State Bar Association, Texas Law Center, P.O.
