Nailah Franklin

Description

When Nailah Franklin went missing in September 2007, police quickly narrowed in on a suspect. Less than three months later, he was arrested but it would take 8 years for the case to go to trial as he continued to proclaim his innocence and assert his right to defend himself in court. Would Nailah Franklin’s family ever find justice?
