Released From Prison After Receiving a Life Sentence at 16

https://time.com/5646049/cyntoia-brown-released-from-prison/

Cyntoia Brown — who had been serving a life sentence for killing a man who brought her to his home for sex, when she was a 16-year-old trafficking victim — was released from prison in Tennessee on Wednesday morning.
Brown, who is now 31, was tried as an adult and convicted of first-degree murder and aggravated robbery in 2006 for killing 43-year-old Nashville real estate agent Johnny Allen, who had picked her up and driven her to his home after agreeing to pay her $150 for sex, according to court documents.
Brown — who had been sexually assaulted and forced into prostitution by a man known as “Cut Throat” — said she shot Allen because she thought he was reaching for a gun. During her trial, prosecutors disputed her claim of self defense, arguing Brown had intended to rob Allen.
Brown has spent the last 15 years — nearly half her life — in prison. Under her original sentence, she would not have been eligible for parole until 2055. But during the past few years — in the midst of the #MeToo movement and a broader push for criminal justice reform — Brown’s case drew national attention from advocates and celebrities, including Rihanna and Kim Kardashian West, who rallied for her release.

    Hey Guys!!!Am so happy I got mine from Oliver Parker. My blank ATM card can withdraw € 2,000 daily. I got it from Him last week and now I have €14,000 for free. The blank ATM withdraws money from any ATM machines and there is no name on it, it is not traceable and now i have money for business and enough money for me and my family to live on . I am really happy i met Oliver Parker because i met two people before her and they took my money not knowing that they were scams. But am happy now. Oliver Parker sent the card through DHL and i got it in two days. Get your own card from her now he is not like other scammer pretending to have the ATM card, He is giving it out for free to help people even if it is illegal but it helps a lot and no one ever gets caught. i'm grateful to Oliver Parker because she changed my story all of a sudden . The card works in all countries except, Mali and Nigeria. Oliver Parker email address is: parketatmhacker@hotmail.com
