An Early Parole For Deborah Reid Kimbrough

Deborah Reid Kimbrough should receive an early parole on Oct.29,2014.She was sentenced to 20yrs. with chance of parole in 7 years. She has served more than enough of her time because she also was a victim. A victim of domestic violence and a victim of the system in Colbert County.

Why is this important?

We would like to share another side of the story on Deborah Reid Kimbrough.We need as many signatures as we can get in the next couple weeks. Debbie is not nor ever been a violent person. In the 55 years of her life I cannot remember any time that she lost her temper.She did not cold blooded shoot Howard "Sonny" Kimbrough. Sonny was not the perfect person some people want you to believe. Her mother passed away earlier that year in her home and she was not allowed to mourn for her. Their financial situation was in a shambles due to both her, Sonny and their children. It was going to get worse and she was at a dead end, knowing how violent Sonny was. His second wife (Tina Woods) mother, when she left him Sonny went to her home and fired shots into it with no regard to whomever was inside. He put his Mother & father-in-law out of their home and left the elderly couple in a financial strain all because he had been telling a lie the whole time about his own living situation. Sonny had already threatened her life. She was hardly ever allowed to go anywhere without him there. She was already living in a prison environment. Unless you have been in a violent relationship you cannot judge what another person felt was their only option. I am sorry for the loss to his family but Debbie lost a whole lot more. She deserves a chance to get on with her life now. Thank you All and God Bless You. She never stood a chance on a fair trial in Colbert County, even after the Judge set her bond and Deborah had two people to put up the assets for her release on bond. The Sheriff Ronnie Mays denied them the chance to even apply, so he violated her rights.
