The justice system in America was put in place in order to make sure that truth and due process prevail. But what happens when the system goes horribly wrong? Cyntoia Brown was a young girl of 16 who had lived her entire life in horrible circumstances. She was forced to do the unthinkable for such a young girl, and ended up having to defend her own life against a much older man. She was then brought to court and tried as an adult despite the fact that she wasn’t even considered one just yet.
Find out the story of how she has spent more than a decade behind bars, and how now, people are clamoring for her early release.
Cyntoia Brown, Born Under Difficult Circumstances
Cyntoia Brown was a young girl who was born in 1988 and didn’t have a good start to her very young life. Her mother, a lady named Georgina Mitchell, was a young alcoholic woman, who not only was raped at a young age, but got pregnant with Cyntoia when she was only 16. She was extremely unhappy and didn’t want the baby, and she didn’t bother to stop drinking when she found out she was pregnant with her daughter.
