| American inmate Cyntoia Brown released. |
Initially given LIFE in the iron college for murdering 43-year old Johnny Mitchell Allen in a robbery and murder gone wrong, the young teen got a chance at redemption.
Brown who was released on Wednesday claimed that she did the murder in self-defense because Allen was raping her and trying to kill her.
The prosecutors claimed that Brown was trying to lure Allen into his home, seduce him and then rob him. When she didn't fulfill the offer, they got into a fight and she pulled firearm on him and shot him.
She took his wallet and left the home. She was soon caught and given the maximum of time interned in the iron college. If it wasn't for then-Republican governor Bill Haslam of Tennessee, the woman would have served nearly 60 years before a clemency.
Celebrities and politicians came to Brown's aid. They came up with the hashtag #FreeCyntioaBrown.
Kim Kardashian-West along with Rihanna, Common, Justin Bieber and many others were hoping that Tennessee spared the woman.
Upon her release, Brown immediately apologized to the family of the victim. She vows to help other women and children who become trapped in human trafficking and gun violence.
The people involved in her life are all but dead. The human trafficker, Garion McGlothen (known as Kutthroat) was killed after being an altercation with Quartez Hines.
The family believes that Brown is unrepentant. They believe she was a "manipulative, calculating teen who used up all her chances in the juvenile justice system and is a danger to public."
Hopefully Brown turns her life around. She needs to prove to the world that she's not a cold hearted killer. She needs to prove to the doubters that she's a proven success, not a failure.
We welcome Cyntoia Brown home....
