    Post Child Sex Slave Convicted for Killing Her Abuser Just Granted Clemency

    Child Sex Slave Convicted for Killing Her Abuser Just Granted Clemency. Outgoing TN Governor Haslam has granted clemency to Cyntoia Brown. Brown was born into a family in which her mother and her grandmother were all sex trafficked, repeatedly raped, and abused. Brown was only a child the first time her ‘owner’ Kutthroat would pimp her out to pedophiles who had their way with her. She was sent jail for life for killing one of those pedophiles but after 15 years, she will soon be free. With just 11 days left to serve his term as governor of Tennessee, Bill Haslam granted Brown clemency on Monday. Brown will now be released on parole supervision on August 7, 2019, after serving 15 years in prison.

    I have followed this case a bit. Kudos to Haslam.

    Wow. What a horrible story.

    I don't even know what to say, other than that. So many thoughts about where she goes from here.
    You are wrong about police.

    Why did it take 15 years for clemency ??
    It's ok if you disagree with me. I can't force you to be right.

    She never should have been charged, much less convicted.

    I always liked Haslam. He wasn't perfect but he was a good governor.

    Pay to play justice. Obviously a minor who was effectively a slave can't afford a competent defense attorney. Justice is only reserved for those with money.
