Prostitute kills john. Is convicted for murder.
Not seeing the injustice here
She should have killed the guy who forced her into this, not the guy who was “buying” her favors and most likely had no idea of the situation.
“Her defense, however, argued that Brown had suffered brain damage due to her mother drinking while Brown was in the womb, which gave her the decision-making capacity of a ten-year-old.”
And yet...
“While she was in prison. . . She earned a GED and an associate degree with a 4.0 GPA, as well as a bachelor’s degree.”
Judging from all the criminals which the left says shouldn’t be in prison, just who do they believe should be in prison? Only white males? Even though blacks commit a disproportionate amount of the violent crime committed, per their percentage of the population? But apparently the left believes that if anyone should be in prison, it should only be white males? And especially non-violent, white collar crime white male criminals?
So we was 16 when she enticed, robbed and killed a man, but it’s all ok now. Why didn’t she get the death penalty so we don’t have to have this discussion now?
after running away from her adoptive family, and had been engaging in sex work on the street at his urging
Killed the John “with her own gun”
Then took his two guns and money
Such an innocent angel
Article makes it sound like she was a victim of trafficking and forced into prostitution, yet she had her own gun
Towards the end of the article, we see what it’s really about for libertarian Timpf. Legalize drugs
Why did you shoot him?
He was reaching under the bed.
How do you know it wasn't for shoes, or dirty socks, or a sex toy?
After you killed him, you stole HIS guns and all his money...why?
Because my mother drank while I was in her womb and I got "brain damage."
ONLY A COMPLETE MORON BELIEVES THIS CRAP!
“....The thing is, though, Brown should have never had to spend so much time behind bars in the first place. Anyone can see that Brown was not so much a danger or threat to society as she was a lost soul, a child, just looking for some help and direction....”
What is Timpf smoking?
... Brown had suffered brain damage due to her mother drinking while Brown was in the womb, which gave her the decision-making capacity of a ten-year-old.... She earned a GED and an associate degree with a 4.0 GPA, as well as a bachelor’s degree. She also mentored other women in her prison.
A lot of unknowns. It may have been aggravated murder during a robbery - the author claims she was being pressured to get money for her pimp. The alleged attacks "standing over her while she tried to sleep" and "grabbing her parts" do not seem to warrant lethal force. And if they did, stealing the victims property and fleeing the scene don't bolster such a claim; they suggest knowledge of guilt. Personally, I don't see 15 years for 2nd degree homicide aggravated by robbing the dead man as cruel or unusual.
Glad she tried to improve herself and help others.
Am I the only one irritated no end by the “barf alerts” and “major hurl alerts” included in headlines?
Just the articles with headlines, please.
Don’t tell me how to react to it.
From the detective who handled the murder (for dumbasses here’s)
“”””
As supporters of Cyntoia Brown’s release are celebrating her newfound freedom, others are standing by their belief that the killing was not justified.
It’s been 15 years since detective Charles Robinson led the homicide investigation on then 16-year-old Brown.
“I’m happy that she has a second chance at life. I hope she uses this time and does well,” said Det. Robinson.
But in his well wishes, he still stands firm with what he said are the facts of the case.
“Absolutely not. It wasn’t justified. There was nothing that Johnny Allen did to her that night he was asleep that would justify what she did other than her motivation to kill him so that she could take stuff out of the house,” said Det. Robinson.
Det. Robinson argues the narrative that won Brown her freedom that she was a sex slave for four years, just had too many red flags, starting from the very first time she met her alleged pimp.
“There’s no way that that could be true,” said Det. Robinson. “Number one, he met her a little less than a month before I charged her with the murder of Johnny Allen. He was from Murfreesboro, Tennessee, she was from Clarksville, Tennessee.”
Second, the claim that Brown shot Allen in self-defense.
“The man was asleep when she shot him because he was still clasped together, like this near his head,” said Det. Robinson.
Det. Robinson felt so strong about the evidence, in 2017, he wrote a seven-page letter to then-governor Bill Haslam before Haslam made his decision about clemency.
In that letter, he detailed the inconsistencies in Brown’s statements, including what she did after she shot and killed Allen.
After the interview with detectives, Robinson said one thing has stuck after all these years.
Brown used a telephone to make a call.
“She got on the phone and was talking to a friend of hers and telling them that she was in custody and she was going to be charged with murder and she was on the phone laughing about it,” he said. “I found that to be unusual.”
As Robinson stands by his beliefs, he hopes Brown will make good of her future.
“She served 15 years in prison and I hope for her sake that she uses this time well,” said Det. Robinson.
