The Case of Amari Boone

The Misery Machine
About this episode

This week, Drewby and Yergy head to Fort Worth, Texas to discuss the case of Amari Demontre Boone, an adorable little boy who was loved very much by his parents, Rodney Boone and Ariana George. However, Amari's parents fell on difficult times and reached out to CPS for help, after which, Amari and his younger brother were placed in the care of Deondrick Foley and his partner, Joseph Delancy. What at first seemed like a great placement soon turned into a nightmare for little Amari, who suffered a shattered pelvis, before being tortured for 51 days, finally succumbing to his injuries.
