Edna Thompson

Mother of the Accused

Edna Thompson is a young mother from Local, known for her fierce loyalty to her 13-year-old son, Jamal, awaiting trial for double murder. Having grown up in difficult circumstances herself, Edna has learned to rely on her voice and conviction to push back against systems she doesn’t trust. At just 27, she carries the weight of responsibility far beyond her years. Outspoken and unapologetic, she wears her heart on her sleeve and refuses to be intimidated by public opinion.
