Kemmba Smith was a girl who went to Hampton University in the early nineties. She got involved with some big time drug dealer from Va who used to physically and verbally abuse her. She got pregnant by him and would drive cars that had drugs and such in them for him. Well this guy had murder charges, and serious drug charges against him and the DEA wanted him. Initially Kemmba would not cooperate with the police. Well when she finally did the guy had killed himself. The law was mad because they weren't able to get him before he got himself so they punished Kemmba. She was twenty four at the time of trial and the judge sentenced her to twenty four years in prison. This was despite the fact that she never actually touched or sold any drugs. She had her baby in prison and her parents have been speaking around the country givng seminars and campaigning for her release. So finally, she has been pardoned. Hope that clears it up some for you.
