Vanessa Cameron was convicted of murder and sentenced her to 70 years in prison for the murder of her child's father, Samuel Johnson.

She was granted a new trial due to a violation that occurred during jury selection.This was a very technical violation that would have little to no outcome on her trial. Nevertheless, she is free to exercise her constitutional rights.

She was found guilty again at trial and now instead of serving seventy years, she has been sentenced to life in prison.
