Meet Sara Kruzan.
She is in jail serving a lifetime sentence without the possibility of parole. She was tried and convicted at the age of 16, still a minor but given an adult sentencing. Her crime: killing the man who raped and trafficked her.
There is currently a petition that has been drafted for the attention of Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger in hopes that she may be granted clemency. Sara has been imprisoned since 2004 for a crime committed against a man who did unspeakable things to her and other young girls. There are hardened criminals who commit heinous crimes that don't get a sentence as harsh as hers. Once again, the court system has shown how they are a court of law, and not necessarily justice.
It is amazing how much suffering she experienced at the hands of her trafficker/kidnapper, and she was shown no mercy in the slightest, or even a chance at social rehabilitation.
Please take a few moments to go and sign the petition for Sara Kruzan's release.
