Cyntoia Brown - Story of a woman accused of murdering her pimp and being jailed for life
I am actually happy for her! I do not believe she should have spent a single day in prison, let alone 15 years. Yes she took another persons life, but it was justified in my opinion, as she was traumatized and abused by her pimp, and its highly likely she was defending herself and feared for her life.
Nothing can take away the pain Cyntoia has felt, nor give her back her 15 years, but releasing her is a step towards justice!
"Cyntoia Denise Brown, a woman serving a life sentence for killing a man who bought her for sex when she was 16 years old, has been granted clemency, the Tennessee governor's office said Monday.
Brown, 30, will be released to parole supervision on August 7 after serving 15 years in prison, Republican Gov. Bill Haslam's office said in a statement.
"This decision comes after careful consideration of what is a tragic and complex case," Haslam said."
