NASHVILLE (WSMV) – Gov. Bill Haslam has granted executive clemency to Nashville inmate Cyntoia Brown.
Brown will be released on parole supervision on Aug. 7, 2019, after serving 15 years in prison.
Her parole supervision will continue until Aug. 7, 2029, which is when her sentence expires.

I’m actually pretty surprised by this:
This decision comes after careful consideration of what is a tragic and complex case. Cyntoia Brown committed, by her own admission, a horrific crime at the age of 16. Yet, imposing a life sentence on a juvenile that would require her to serve at least 51 years before even being eligible for parole consideration is too harsh, especially in light of the extraordinary steps Ms. Brown has taken to rebuild her life. Transformation should be accompanied by hope. So, I am commuting Ms. Brown’s sentence, subject to certain conditions.
