from Love and Murder: Heartbreak to Homicide · host Ky Charles

In this episode of Love and Murder, I tell you a case out of Evansville, Indiana, that will leave you shaking your head. A two-month-old baby was rushed to the hospital in critical condition, weighing only six pounds—far below what he should have been. Doctors were horrified by what they saw, comparing his condition to something out of a nightmare. But here’s the thing—his mother, Cristen Donat, didn’t seem concerned at all.How does a baby end up in this condition? What really happened inside that home? And when the case went to court, why did the punishment (or lack of it) leave everyone outraged?You don’t want to miss this one. Listen now and then answer my question:Do ​you ​think ​she ​could ​be ​rehabilitated, ​or ​do ​you ​think ​she ​deserved ​a ​harsher ​punishment?Tune in to hear this retelling and share your thoughts on the case.Don't forget to subscribe to our podcast for more true crime stories and updates. If you want to support Love and Murder, you can join our Patreon for bonus episodes, case extras, and more at patreon.com/loveandmurder.
