"The defendant admitted she intentionally struck the victim intending to injure or kill her," according to a complaint from the Clive Police Department."She struck the victim because the victim is Hispanic."
Clive Police Chief Michael Venema said in a news conference Friday that"Franklin told investigators that she ran the girl over because, in her words, she was 'a Mexican.'" "She went on to make a number of derogatory statements about Latinos to our investigators," Venema said."There is no place in our community, or in any other for that matter, for this type of hatred or violence."Poole Franklin could still face hate crime charges, Venema said.The teenager's family requested privacy while grappling with all the new information, police said.
