This week, Drewby and Yergy discuss the case of Porchia Bennett, a 3 year old girl from Philadelphia, PA, who was dumped off at a random man's house along with her siblings after her mother, Tiffany Bennett, didn't want to be a mother anymore. That man, Jerry Chambers, inflicted horrors onto the children, which was later described by the District Attorney as the worst case of child abuse that he'd ever seen in the city... one that would cost little Porchia her life.
