She said it looked to her as if the video was the result of cut and paste, as if it had been manipulated to show her son in that situation when it may not have been him.

She said her son isn’t 100 percent innocent and probably does deserve to serve time behind bars, but not for murder.
"He’s done a lot of different little things. Some larger things, but he loves kids and he’s not a murderer,” his mother said.

She said Lauramore has been calling the Ebrons to show her support and says how much she loves their son. Lauramore said she knows he didn’t hurt Lonzie and when the truth comes out her child be back with her.
