Summary
This episode of The Nick Bryant Podcast features Alisha Owen, one of the victims of the Franklin Credit Union Scandal of the 1980s in Omaha, Nebraska. Sexually trafficked as an adolescent and set up for a prison bid, Alisha spoke out about her perpetrators and became an enemy of the state. State and federal grand juries indicted her on 16 counts of perjury, and she was staring at 200 years in prison, but she refused to recant accounts of her abuse. A Nebraska state Kangaroo Court found her guilty on all counts of perjury, and she was sentenced to between 9 and 15 years in prison. The authorities really attempted to destroy her by placing her in solitary for nearly 2 years. This is her first ever podcast interview. Alisha demonstrates that people can have spirits that are indestructible. <p> </p> <p>nickbryantnyc.com</p>
