Whom to believe -- mother or son? Just hours after the drowning death of seven-year-old Adrianna Hutto, her six-year-old brother, AJ, had a horrific story to tell police about their mother, Amanda Lewis. He accused his mother of dunking Adrianna, drowning her in their Florida pool. But can AJ be believed, or was he coached into telling the damaging story? "20/20" explores family secrets, the challenges of child testimony, and AJ's heart-wrenching testimony at the age of seven at a trial that pits mother against son. Ashleigh Banfield's report, which includes an exclusive interview with Amanda Lewis, airs on "20/20," FRIDAY, DECEMBER 3 (10:00-11:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network.
