The consequences of Amanda Canales' tragic past

Amanda Canales' life took a nose-dive when she married Kevin Lewis in 2009. What was supposed to be a jubilant marriage quickly turned out to be a living nightmare, as Amanda claimed to have been emotionally and physically abused by her husband.

Although she tried to hold the marriage together for the sake of the children, Amanda finally walked away from Kevin in 2016. This was followed by a spate of tragic events: the murder of her sister, Alisha Canales-McGuire, in 2017. Amanda said with certainty that Kevin had plotted to kill her but Alisha was instead killed.

Though Kevin was previously charged with assault based on a prior incident with Amanda, it wasn't until years later that he was convicted of the murder of Alisha. The conviction brought some kind of closure for Amanda, who for years, fought to expose her horrific experience and her family's through the justice system.
