Hannah Overton will not be tried on murder charges again in the death of her adopted son . Overton was found guilty in the 2006 of killing her adopted son Andrew Burd , who died of acute salt poisoning . Overton has denied killing the boy from the start and her husband and five children have stood by her side . Late last year her conviction was overturned because of ineffective counsel , but Skura district attorney Mark Skurka was set to try her again . Skurka filed a motion to dismiss however and the judge granted his motion .
