Thomia Hunter Granted Clemency After Serving Life Sentence For Killing Abusive Ex-Boyfriend
Thomia Hunter, a woman who was sentenced to life in prison for killing her abusive ex-boyfriend in 2005, has been granted clemency.

Thomia Hunter, a woman who was sentenced to life in prison for killing her abusive ex-boyfriend in 2005, has been granted clemency by Ohio Governor John Kasich.
Hunter will be released in July 2019, according to Cleveland.com.
Thomia Hunter Granted Clemency
Hunter’s lawyer, Tiffany Smith, said they received the news via mail from Kasich’s office.
Hunter was originally sentenced to life in prison in 2005 for murdering her ex-boyfriend after enduring years of abuse from him.
In June of 2017, the Ohio Parole board discovered new information confirming that Hunter’s ex had viciously attacked her on that fatal night, which led them to believe she had been suffering from battered woman syndrome at the time of the murder. That information had reportedly not been revealed during her trial.
Release
Hunter’s release is conditional upon her completion of a reintegration program provided by the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction.
Grateful the Governor’s office commuted her sentence, Hunter says she hopes her case will shine a light on victims of domestic violence and abuse and how it can lead to violent offenses.
Hunter’s release comes on the heels of the recent announcement of Cynotia Brown’s clemency in Tennessee.
Hunter will be released on July 15th.
