Maloney-George maintains her innocence, speaking from prison recently about the growing web of support to get her freed. I do have a clear conscience. You just don't know the depth of your faith until something like this happens. I had dealings with this woman and she was lovely. I could not believe this and I couldn't sleep.
Legal experts say the funds are a good start toward providing a decent defense.
Maloney-George is buoyed by friends and family who have come to her defense, and she corresponds with many of them from prison. She writes to the children she cared for, their parents, church members and family. She just recently won the right to have contact visits with her children once a month, she said. Other times, they talk about life and school and how they miss their mom. Maloney-George received her master's degree from Lincoln University in human services and has worked in social service almost her entire career, she said.
