RILEY CHOATE'S LAWYER SEEKS CHILD CUSTODY FILES

RILEY CHOATE'S mouthpiece is making moves to help the horrific hillbilly wiggle out of murder charges. Riley who? He's the 39-year-old Hammond, Indiana man, who along with his gal pal, Kimberly Kubina, 45, beat and tortured his son Christian Choate, 13, until he died. Let him live in a dog cage. Starved him. Beat him. Then they buried him like a dead animal under a concrete slab. Both have been charged with murder and a litany of other crimes. They have pleaded not guilty.
Now, his lawyer is seeking records relating to child
custody issues with the boy's biological mother, Amy Estrada, no prize herself. Prosecutors have hinted that more people could be charged.

Witnesses have told detectives that Choate, Kubina and at least one other person repeatedly abused the boy, who was confined in a locked dog cage for more than one year prior to his death on April 5, 2009, court records state. 
Riley Choate had custody of Christian and his sister Christina, who is said to be "safe, sound and doing well" considering "she was in danger a good part of her life."
