US EditionJury Finds Brian Mann Guilty in Attempted Murder Trial
- Brian Mann, a 36-year-old chiropractor from Decatur, Alabama, is on trial as of June 2025, accused of trying to poison his wife, Hannah Pettey Mann, with lead.
- The case follows Hannah first falling ill in August 2021 with severe symptoms, after Mann allegedly gave her pills laced with lead under the guise of immune support during a contentious divorce.
- Evidence showed Hannah’s lead levels were in the high 80s, she was hospitalized for months, and a UAB doctor described her as "clinically deteriorating," while authorities found no lead source in their home.
- Mann was arrested in September 2022, released on a $500,000 bond, pleaded not guilty, and his defense claims he was also poisoned and no direct evidence links him to the crime.
- The trial's outcome may affect ongoing investigations about lead poisoning evidence and highlights complexities of proving intent amid disputed forensic findings.
