Cyntoia’s current lawyers share, “We’re appealing her case now on the Habeus Corpus Petition. The original trial attorneys tried the case, went through the court of criminal appeals, and the Tennessee Supreme court in the ordinary course of things.” MoveOn.org created a petition for her release, tugging at the hearts and minds of citizens to help her cause, explaining, “This could be or could have been your daughter. This petition needs as many signatures as possible so that it can be presented for a potential presidential pardon.” So far, the petition has received over 200,000 signatures, and one can only hope that it’ll be enough to free a girl who’s lost more than half her life to what many believe are the wrongdoings of a flawed justice system.
