And whether he believes that he killed his mother or not, that's not all he is to Reginald. And you can see that this will be, you know, a lifelong struggle for him wrestling with this.

Welcome back to Postmortem. I'm your host, Anne-Marie Green. And today we're looking at the case of Melissa Koyuzinski. She was a daycare worker who was convicted of murder in 2009 in the death of a 16-month-old baby boy, Benjamin Kingen. Now, Melissa remains in prison, and she's already served 16 of the 31-year sentence that she received. But she's long insisted that she is innocent.
