Cyntoia Brown

This is a petition for Cyntoia Brown- "Ms. Brown was tried as an adult and found guilty at trial and has served the past 14 years behind bars. In May, the Tennessee Board of Parol was spilt 2/2/2 on whether to grant clemency, deny it, or make her parole eligible in 25 years. Now as of this week, the Tennessee Supreme Court has ruled she must spend 51 years behind bars before she is eligible to be released, though she has been labeled as a “model inmate”. Let that sink in for a moment. A person who went to prison at as a teenager will now be in prison 4 times longer than the time they were “free”, though I believe that growing up in the conditions Ms. Brown did, she has never been free." Let's take a stand against racism, sexism and paedophilia and stick up for this poor girl who has been repeatedly let down by everyone in her life. Show her that she's not alone and we care. Here is the link to the UK petition- www.change.org/p/governor-bill-haslam-governor-elect-bill-lee-pardon-for-cyntoia-brown?signed=true

It's completely appalling. Makes your heart sink.

Cyntoia Brown was a victim of child sex trafficking who killed her abuser and pimp in self defence while she was only a child.
