Escalated Further
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation was asked to intervene in the case. Believe it or not, Martha’s case wasn’t the first. There have been other cases too like hers. Unfortunately, they never became a piece of major news and nobody would ever hear about them.
Brave Old Lady
Martha was strong. Being an 87-year-old didn’t stop her from fighting for justice. She was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. That’s all. She has never hurt anybody before but the police saw her as a threat because she couldn’t understand what they were trying to say. She just wanted to know what was going on. But if the police would have been a little cooperative she wouldn’t have left hanging between life and death.
