Gov. Bill Haslam grants full clemency to Cyntoia Brown, sets Aug. 7 release from prison

[Pimp]

I think she straight up killed and robbed dude but at 16 people think stupid and she deserves a second chance

 

[Family Lives Matter]

I'm sure there are people who are more deserving but it is what it is good for her

 

[96Blue]

One has to think, if we did this, how many more innocent Black People can we try to get released?

Oh my goshhhhhhh... !!!!
(Really shouldn't have been there in the first place, bc self defense and she was 16 at the time, but that's a win for her regardless..some GOOD NEWS this week!!).

 

[Arcavian]

she went in at 16 did 15, and will be on parole until 2029... ok i guess

I'm not the biggest fan of releasing murderers though

 

[T'krm]

Cyn-to-ia...Good!!
But watch how they try to credit Kim K for this, somehow!

 

[thelonious21]

And the women hating nikkas had to be the first ones in here.

The only people the coli hates more than white men are women.

this girl was 16 being pimped,raped, and beaten but she’s not innocent. She killed a 43 year old man that paid to have sex with her and showed her a bunch of guns before doing it and then attacked her.

 

[Rockstar Mom]

Not surprised by the first few comments

She was 16. She was a sex trafficking VICTIM.

VICTIM.

VICTIM!!!!!


Now, I’ll admit the way she went about this was murder. It was. But she should’ve been charged as a juvenile, sent to juvenile detention AND mandated therapy. No, she didn’t deserve life imprisonment. I’m glad she got clemency.

She wasn't innocent. She was a prostitute and shot a guy who paid for sex in his sleep and robbed him for her pimp. Had she shot her pimp that would be different.

Still underage tho... You know what they call that by law,... trafficking minors...

 

[hayesc0]

They said it is not a full pardon so she will still have a record but that is better than nothing.

 

[SirReginald]

hopefully she can help other sex trafficking victims and become a voice for them.

So was she in jail for shooting someone or being a prostitute? I dont know the details of the story so Im asking to be informed.

She still looks good....maybe a Love After Lockup situation?
