Cyntoia Brown: Celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. by listening to people who are not like us'In just seven months, I will walk out of prison and get a second chance at life' writes Cyntoia Brown, who was granted clemency on Jan. 7, in an op-ed for USA TODAY. What about the man she murdered and robbed? Does he get a second chance? Congress & the Last three President's have only talked about sentences being reformed & inmates be given a New Chance at life. This was very easy to do, but Politicians wouldn't do it Seems to me that the Cyntoia Brown story w Gov Hassan clemency decision is a reasoned outcome. It will be up to her to justify this result. Good luck!
