Louisiana — Nearly four years after the death of 12-year-old Brogan Duhon from severe malnutrition, the trial of his adoptive parents, Adam and Jennifer Duhon, is underway. The couple has pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder charges in what prosecutors describe as a shocking case of child neglect and abuse.

Brogan died in 2022 after reportedly suffering extreme starvation while in the care of the Duhons. Courtroom testimony has included heartbreaking details, with neighbors and earlier welfare investigations allegedly revealing signs of abuse and the boy asking for food. The case has stunned the community once again as emotional accounts emerge.

The trial is expected to feature significant evidence regarding the boy’s condition and prior reports. The Duhons remain in custody.
