Priscilla E. Oates
'They do what they want to do when they’re on that level. It takes God to catch them. It was a group of elected head-of-state officials who led the allegations and indictments against me. I fought for my life, along with the people connected to me. There was no other choice but to fight or accept 75 years in prison.'What do you do when you are falsely accused and indicted and facing 75 years in prison?How do you handle it when you are falsely accused and indicted of misusing funds?Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivereth him out of them all. (Psalms 34:19 KJV)Former Mayor Priscilla Oates was dedicated to rebuilding the city she loved dearly, but when she was falsely accused of misusing funds intended for city growth and development, her legacy and reputation were destroyed in an instant. She shares a journey from the mayor’s office to the courtroom and how her attorneys were able to uncover some shocking discoveries that turned the case against her upside down. With her name and position on the line, 17 Felony Charges: Not Guilty exposes the inner workings of an entire ring of corruption designed to bring her down, in the fight it took to clear her name.More than just a defense of her character and her position, Priscilla’s memoir is a testament to her never-ending trust in God, her faith that He would see her through this nightmare, and what happens when truth triumphs over lies and deception.
