- These calls were paid for by a white supremacists podcast, “Road to Power.”
- The call said, “Negroes aren’t American. They aren’t really fully human. It’s time to send them all to Africa. She’s been cast as the criminal when in fact it was the negro.” It continued, “Hannah Payne did nothing wrong. Tell the District Attorney of Clayton County, Georgia, free Hannah Payne”
- District Attorney Tracy Graham Lawson received one of the robocalls. She told a news outlet “It’s not going to be doing Ms. Payne any favors for people with attitudes like that to contact this office about the case.”
Hannah Payne is currently in jail without bond.
