December 21, 2018: Free Cyntoia Brown Phone Zap/E-Blast

Free Cyntoia Brown Phone Zap/E-Blast

At the age of 16, sex trafficking victim Cyntoia Brown was convicted of first degree murder. Earlier this year, she had been granted a clemency hearing, but her petition was denied by the Tennessee Board of Probation and Parole. According to The Root, ” Although the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that life sentences without the possibility of parole for juveniles are unconstitutional, the Tennessee Supreme Court later said that Brown would have to serve at least 51 years of her sentence before she is granted parole.”
