Mr Govenor. Please consider the terrible situation this then sixteen year old girl was in. She was in the hands of a man who had payed money for her body, surely she had the right to defend her self. She has been punished enogh. Release her.

If she killed, she ought to remain behind bars.

Haslam is a smart & fair man, he'll make the right decision.

BillHaslam do the right thing.

Tell that Governor to pardon her!

We will soon see how compassionate and logical Tennessee is.

I hope so

Still being considered? It should be a foregone conclusion!

rhonda_harbison She needs to be released.

The amount of ignorance on this case is astounding. The people calling for her release amaze me.

good

Before you say ' free her' are you willing to have her marry into or live next door to your family?

Let her GO!!!!

Reading more tweets about this case...

This is a no brainer. Seriously, 51 years? Not right.

Bill Haskam please give this young woman clemency. So many have done worse things in Government- please let her live a good and meaningful life. Thank you foryour attention to this matter.🙌🏻

Time to FreeRoss

Murdered a man while he was sleeping, stole his guns, cash and car. But she’s the victim

'...a woman who was 16 when she killed a man WHO WAS RAPING HER...' There, fixed it for you.

This is good news. She does not deserve to be in jail. Women have a right to defend themselves when being sexually assaulted.

Of course we do not know all the circumstances, but it appears the judge and the jury did not know all the circumstances. Justice is a fundamental Foundation of democracy.

Yay

YAY. Please please BillHaslam do the right thing here!!!!!!

Good because if he’s still walking around free she deserves justice!

Can we give her life?

THESE are the people that deserve pardons.
