Her conviction
Court records reveal that in 1990, Green had forced her daughter to steal a child from Uganda. The child was subsequently physically and sexually abused for years to come.
The testimony that tipped the scales came from a former member who told the court that, “Emotionally, she broke me as a child to the point where I still, today, struggle with my own self-confidence, my self-esteem, my sense of worth.”
She also revealed that she still struggles to recover from being physically and emotionally abused, adding she’s had 11 surgeries to help fix broken bones.
Another case is imminent against Green, about the death of Enoch Miller whom authorities said died in 2014.
