WOMAN FREED FROM CONSERVATORSHIP (SLAVERY)
A Nashville woman who fought for nearly two years to get out from under a court-ordered conservatorship was set free Thursday.
Ginger Franklin had a conservator, or guardian, appointed to handle her affairs after she tumbled down the stairs at her house in 2008 and suffered a brain injury. After she recovered, she tried to regain control of her life but found it to be a long and draining ordeal involving multiple court hearings.
On Thursday, Nashville Probate Judge Randy Kennedy dissolved the conservatorship after reading a new doctor's report that says Franklin had fully recovered.
“It’s hard to take it all in,” Franklin said. “I’m a free woman. I can drive. I can work. I can get married. I can vote.”
They are things that most Americans take for granted, but they are things that people under a conservatorship are not allowed to do for themselves.
Franklin said she hopes to get her job back and start her life over.
"I'm going to celebrate by celebrating my life every day," Franklin said.
