Nicole Poole Franklin said she drove her SUV into two children in 2019 to try to kill them because of their race.
DES MOINES, Iowa — A white Iowa woman who said she drove her SUV into two children in 2019 to try to kill them because of their race was sentenced Thursday to 25 years in prison on federal hate crimes charges.
Prosecutors asked for a 27-year sentence in a filing last week, saying Poole Franklin targeted a 12-year-old boy and a 14-year-old girl because of their race and ethnicity. Both were walking down the street near their schools.Prosecutors say she first drove over a curb and struck the 12-year-old Black boy, saying she ran him over because he’s “just like ISIS” and “he’s not supposed to be there and he’s going to take me out.
Poole Franklin fled after both crashes and was later arrested after going to a gas station where she called an employee and customers racial epithets.
