Cyntoia Brown, is finally speaking out after being released from her 15 year prison sentence.

Brown was found guilty at age 16 for the murder of a 43-year old man by the name of Jhonny Allen. According to reports, Allen was found naked and shot dead in his home back in 2004. However, not only was she convicted of murder but was also sentenced to life in prison.
