The documentary follows the case of Cyntonia Brown, a 16 year old who murdered a 43 year old man. She had a pretty tough childhood and was basically a child prostitute who decided to murder a man. It was pretty clear that she did it in cold blood to rob him so that defense failed but eventually she was let out after 15 years. I think this is one of those cases where they got it right even though by the law they really kind of got it wrong. She was 16 years old and the guy clearly picked her up as a prostitute. That's child prostitution and you can't really feel for a guy who would stoop to that. It clearly wasn't in self defense but I think in some cases murder is warranted and the woman clearly tried to better herself and I think deserves a second chance at life.
