In September 2007, 28-year-old Nailah Franklin disappeared from her apartment in Chicago. Even though an arrest was made shortly thereafter, the suspect’s trial wouldn’t begin for another eight years. 

Thank you to Professor Bennett Gershman from Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University for speaking with us about this case.
