Butler, Ga. — (WLTZ) A Georgia woman has been sentenced to 190 years in prison after keeping her adoptive daughter locked in a filthy chicken coop.
Diana Franklin was found guilty on false imprisonment and cruelty to children charge. Prosecuters charged Franklin locked her adoptive daughter in a chicken coop, outhouse, garage and closet for weeks at a time with little to no food or water as forms of punishment when the victim would ‘steal food’ or disobey her mother.
“I never thought in a million years that I would be standing before the world, in a pair of handcuffs, for doing nothing more than loving someone who needed love,” Franklin said.
