On July 28, 2016, 14 year old Bresha Meadows shot her father in the head as he slept, after what her mother says was a lifetime of abuse and domestic violence in the home. Bresha’s arrest and continued incarceration as she awaited trial spawned the impassioned #FreeBresha movement.This episode brought to you by our sponsor **The State of Logic Podcast** - listen, rate and review at https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-state-of-logic/id1255329050?mt=2 and find them on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook **@TheStateofLogic**Promos from my pals: Murder Mile- True Crime Podcast - @mmiletours - https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/murder-mile-true-crime-podcast/id1278924392?mt=2Home Video Hustle - @HVHPodcast - https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-home-video-hustle/id1235534009?mt=2Mixed and mastered by Resonate Recordings.Podcasting is for everyone; visit https://resonaterecordings.com to have your first episode produced for free!Sources:https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/23/us/bresha-meadows-father-killing.htmlhttps://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/bresha-meadows-abuse-case_us_589501cbe4b0406131370b40https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/bresha-meadows-case-teen-who-killed-father-gets-deal-spares-n762906http://wkbn.com/2016/07/28/police-investigate-shooting-in-warren/http://www.oxygen.com/crime-time/bresha-meadows-teen-who-killed-abusive-father-to-be-freed-from-prison-on-sundayhttps://campaigns.organizefor.org/petitions/free-bresha-meadowshttps://www.theroot.com/the-story-of-bresha-meadows-who-will-sing-a-black-girl-1790856454https://www.democracynow.org/2018/2/7/bresha_meadows_teenage_girl_who_killedhttp://www.ajc.com/news/world/who-bresha-meadows-year-old-who-allegedly-killed-her-abusive-father-released-from-custody/TvX9kI7LQ8KM75yWeal1xO/http://fox8.com/2018/02/04/teen-who-killed-her-father-returns-home-after-sentence/http://www.vindy.com/news/2017/dec/03/what-happened-shatter-lives-bresha-meadows-family/?mobilehttps://news.vice.com/en_us/topic/bresha-meadowshttp://www.slate.com/blogs/xx_factor/2017/05/23/bresha_meadows_enters_a_plea_deal_will_spend_two_more_months_in_detention.htmlhttps://qz.com/995228/the-case-of-a-15-year-old-bresha-meadows-shows-the-unbearable-cost-of-self-defense-in-the-usahttps://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2016/08/13/she-is-my-hero-mother-applauds-teenage-daughter-accused-of-killing-father/http://www.cleveland.com/metro/index.ssf/2016/08/murder-or-self-defense-bresha-meadows.htmlhttp://www.cleveland.com/metro/index.ssf/2017/05/bresha_meadows_cousin_says.htmlhttp://www.wfmj.com/story/32697790/family-defends-warren-man-allegedly-murdered-by-14-year-old-daughterhttp://fox8.com/2016/08/05/family-of-man-allegedly-killed-by-14-year-old-daughter-say-claims-are-untrue-this-had-nothing-to-do-with-abuse/http://wkbn.com/2016/07/29/aunt-of-accused-teen-killer-father-was-abusive/
When 14-year-old Bresha Meadows shot her father after allegedly enduring a lifetime of his abuse, she could have just been one more girl processed through what’s become known as the abuse-to-prison pipeline. But instead, the #FreeBresha movement arrived to question the harsh, punitive nature of our juvenile justice system. Sojourners' Women and Girls Associate Jenna Barnett traveled to Ohio to see how pastors, advocates, and Bresha's family members felt about the case. Listen here to understand the case, and to find out what the church can learn from a social media movement and the 14-year-old girl it rallied behind.
