Netflix recently released the trailer for the Murder to Mercy documentary. The documentary is based on the life of Cyntoia’s Brown, who came into the media headlines last year after being denied support by a large number of celebrities in the Self Defense Murder Case.
In 2006, when she was 16 years old, she was picked up by a 46 year old fast food restaurant. They shot and killed the man.

However, I am currently in the process of sharing my story, in the right way, in full detail, and in a way that depicts and respects the woman I am today. While I pray that this film highlights things wrong in our justice system, I had nothing to do with this documentary. pic.twitter.com/gAACNyJksw
