- Fatima grew up in the Bay Area of San Francisco.
- She had a brother Lucas Silva, who was two years older than her. Lucas tragically passed away in a railroad accident when Fatima was thirteen years old. Lucas was taking a popular shortcut across railroad tracks to school when he was struck by a passing train. This loss shaped Fatima’s life, especially as her lower-middle-class family was involved in a wrongful death lawsuit against the Union Pacific Railroad Company. The family settled in 2000, and a wrought-iron fence now protects the area where Lucas died[1]. The fenced area carries his name.

The show’s purpose is to look at murder cases that were controversial when they went for trial and establish if there is cause for an appeal or if the verdict should stand. Through this, Fatima has had the chance to help many suffering families.

I have recently seen some TV programs where she is assisting in trying to help in potential cases on incorrect judgement. She is a stunning lady and so very presentable in what she is doing with her colleague. I wish her all the very best in her future actions.
Where her parents were from?
I must say I really admire Fatima not only because she is beautiful but also because she put herself out there and tries to assist persons who feel that their wits end to get closure for their family along with Chris. She is just an amazing person.
Você é muito linda
Parabéns, nobre colega, pela brilhante carreira na área jurídica! Continue ajudando os mais necessitados.
Fatima Silva is fire! Her husband is so lucky. Not sure why they got rid of the other female host. She’s just as fine.
Fatima seus pais são brasileiros
Fátima is an Arabian female name, and the origin of this name was after FATMA (without the “i”) who was the daughter of Mohammed (the messenger of Allah. In Portuguese-speaking countries he is called ‘Maomé’). The name became famous because of the Miracle of Fátima, Portugal, in 1917. I also follow their show. Chris and Fátima inspire many lawyers and psychologists (my case) worldwide. They’re wonderful.
You are crazy. Fatima is all over the world. In Portugal there is a FATIMA Catholic church in the city!
So her brother took a popular shortcut and got hit by a train and died and that is the railroad companies fault? That is what is wrong with America.
A wonderful team that fights for others’ rights.
I have been watching quite a few crime shows for about a year or so. It is terrible what victims and their loved ones have to go through in life. I just started watching your show reasonable doubt and find it very interesting. Amazing hard work for everyone involved. Keep up the good work everyone.
I thought she was Muslim 🙁
I love the show Reasonable Doubt.. Chris and Fatima are a great team, they show compassion and genuine interest in their cases.
I’d just like to say I love the programme Reasonable Doubt, and you Fatima are one beautiful young lady.
