#FreeBresha #BreshaMeadows... I hadn't heard of this case before... *Note - she will be tried as a juvenile, not an adult. Story below: Bresha, then 14, had been arrested for allegedly shooting her father to death with his own gun as he slept—the same gun he had often brandished, she said, to keep his own family in line. For years, according to Bresha’s family, the girl had watched helplessly as her father, #JonathanMeadows, punched, kicked, stomped, and beat her mother, Brandi. He threatened to kill Brandi and their three children, family members say, if she ever tried to leave. “He really knew how to keep her captive in her own home,” Bresha’s lawyer, Ian Friedman, told #Rewire.
