Holy shit, what the fuck is wrong with these people? She was forced to work as a prostitute from the age of eleven and he wants to know what proof is there. It also turns out that she was sexually abused from a young age as well.

And none of us are saying that she didn't commit murder and shouldn't have been punished. The entire argument is whether or not the punishment was fair, and the more you read about how everything was handled, the more you see it wasn't.

I don't see a shred of evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that she deserved leniency.

Neither did the jury.

LOL, the petition the court summarily rejected?

No thanks.

She was guilty as charged.

Next case!

"Her attorneys’ request for a new trial was turned down by a Riverside County judge in February 2010. 4th District Court of Appeal also rejected a similar request. In August 2010, the California Supreme Court granted a petition from Kruzan, and asked for informal letter responses.

At first, the attorney general’s office maintained there was no basis for a battered partner defense by Kruzan, but later conceded “it is perverse to suggest that a minor who has been sexually abused and exploited from the age of 11 should be entitled to lesser defenses than an adult.”

The Supreme Court ordered the case returned to Riverside County to review her request, which led to the proposed settlement."

This is just an amazing story, especially as California is supposed to be a liberal state, it sounds to me that she did the world a favour.

California Gov. Jerry Brown has decided to allow freedom to a woman who received a life sentence when she was a teenager for killing her former pimp. Brown decided late Friday not to take action on a state parole board's decision to grant parole to Sara Kruzan, thereby allowing the decision to go into effect, his spokesman Evan Westrup said Saturday.

Kruzan was 17 when she was sentenced to die in prison for the 1994 shooting death of George Gilbert Howard in a Riverside motel room. She contended that he sexually abused her and had groomed her since she was 11 to work for him as a child prostitute.

Now here is the kicker to that story.


laws designed to do minimum sentencing and a system that sees a 14 year old child who kills someone keeping them a slave and forcing to have sex for money as an adult.

Guess how those laws got into Cali ?
