The Case of Heaven Waktins

This week, Yergy and Drewby head to both Minnesota and Virginia to discuss the case of Heaven Watkins, a young autistic girl with cerebral palsy who was killed by her mother, Latoya Monique Smith, and her new boyfriend, Demont Harris. Even more infuriating than the fact that this beautiful little girl was killed, is the fact that Demont was being paid by the state of Virginia to care for her - but he didn't. He did the exact opposite of that.
