Death penalty should be transferred to the pimp . Kut- throat is still out there pimping, and in these days of blacks hating slavery, slavery still is alive with many blacks at the helm piloting that ship. Human trafficking penalties should get no second chances. Hunt him down.

Finally some good news!

She will have served 15 years by the time she is paroled. That's just mind-blowing considering she was not guilty of 1st degree murder. Props to governor BillHaslam for doing the right thing. Hopefully more GOP governors will follow his lead

Thank goddess!

I hope he feels good and sleeps like a baby tonight for doing the right thing.

Took a minute but this is awesome! 👏🏽

solusnan1 👏👏👏👏👏😀😀

I hope these celebrities also help/aide her upon her release

God bless Governor Haslam. Good decision, was overdue

Justa_Jus How many more are there that nobody has heard about? How do we help them?

You may want to mention she killed the man who enslaved her.

Cool.

Pastor who talked to governor about clemency for Cyntoia Brown will walk her out of prisonThey met for the first time before Christmas -- the woman serving a life sentence for killing a man who bought her for sex as a teen, and a pastor who believed in her. Now, the pastor who asked for clemency for Cyntoia Brown will walk her out of prison: you need to use another word than sex. Sex is something consentual. Lots of unaccompanied little sex workers trafficked across the Southern border. Glad to see CNN obviously objects and won’t mind a wall being put in the trafficking route. She murdered a sleeping man and then robbed him and reported back to her pimp.
