Cyntoia Brown, who at the age of 16 was a prostitute, was solicited by a man whom she told she was 18. The man brought her back to his house and according to her own testimony in court they didn't have sex. She then shot him in the back of the head while he was sleeping, stole his guns and stuff, stole his vehicle, and went back to her pimp. This woman was granted clemency today for some strange reason, but that's not even the facepalming part of the story.

The facepalming part of the story is how CNN worded their headline: Cyntoia Brown is granted clemency after serving 15 years in prison for killing man who bought her for sex

CNN makes it sound like the guy bought her as a sex slave, kept her locked up in the basement, and one day managed to escape by shooting her abuser and escaping with her life.
