“In today’s unanimous decision, the Tennessee Supreme Court explained that, under state law, a life sentence is a determinate sentence of 60 years,” the court wrote. “However, the sixty-year sentence can be reduced by up to 15 percent, or 9 years, by earning various sentence credits (good behavior. & getting involved in prison based education programs while incarcerated) Therefore, the Supreme Court concluded that a defendant serving a life sentence for a first-degree murder committed on or after July 1, 1995, may be eligible for release after serving at least 51 years of the sentence.“
For those of you who haven’t yet caught up to this story:
Cyntoia Brown was a 16 yr old girl, who at the time of the incident was living in a room at a Nashville InTown Suites with Allen (the man who propositioned her for sex) because her pimp and boyfriend Garion McGlothen, nick-named “Kut Throat,” insisted that she needed to earn money.
After Allen took her to his house, he showed Cyntoia multiple guns, including shotguns and rifles. Later in bed, as she described in court, he grabbed her violently by the genitals, his demeanor became threatening and, fearing for her life, she took a gun out of her purse and shot him.

Lots of western leftists exploit the Palestinian cause as a veneer for their antisemitism
Meanwhile, here’s what majority of actual Gazans living in an open-air prison feel about antijewish sentiments (they were asked if they hate Jews)
@western leftists exploiting our cause: listen assholes, we’re sick of you charlatans. We see through you. We see through u charlatans who build a following out of making israel a specific point of focus, we notice how you never really talk about the broader framework of imperialism within which israel functions as an outpost… we see through you and wish u would leave us the fuck alone and stop distorting and exploiting our cause. You don’t get to speak for us, we will always control our narrative, we won’t let you charlatans coopt our pain
