Kim Kardashian Wants To Help Cyntoia Brown – Shawn Holley

Kim Kardashian has enlisted her legal team to help in the case of Cyntoia Brown, a former child sex slave who killed her abuser when she was 16.

Brown’s case went viral this week when it emerged she had already served 13 years of a life sentence, and the now 29-year-old has secured the backing of the Kardashian in her clemency campaign.

The reality TV star, who has been vocal in her disgust at Brown’s case, has instructed her lawyer Shawn Holley to help the campaign – and that as well of Alice Johnson’s – another prison inmate whose case has gone viral.

Johnson, a 62-year-old grandmother and former FedEx worker, is 21 years into a life sentence for her first-time, nonviolent drug conviction, where she acted as a messenger between drugs rings.

‘Kim asked me several weeks ago how she could help Alice Johnson in her fight for justice. We then began corresponding with Alice and her team of lawyers,’ Holley said.

‘Since then, Kim has championed the cause of Cyntoia Brown and asked me to help her get involved in that effort as well,’ Holley said on Thursday.

Then 16-year-old Brown was sex trafficked by a pimp named Kutthroat who was physically, sexually and verbally abusive and eventually sold her to 43-year-old Nashville realtor Johnny Allen, a court heard during her trial in 2004.

Brown, who feared that former Army sharp shooter Allen planned to kill her, eventually grabbed one of her captor’s guns and killed him.
