Women imprisoned for killing their rapists.

There has been a lot of attention and outpouring of support for Marissa Alexander, so I thought I'd post some links to get these women's stories out. If you know of any others please share.

Sara Kruzan was prostituted at 13, killed her pimp at 16, and was sentenced to life in prison. Governor Schwarzenegger commuted her sentence to 25 years, making her eligible for parole.

Cyntoia Brown, also at 16, murdered a 43 year old 'client' that she'd met in a parking lot.
