It seems that Kardashian-West has taken up fighting for first-time, non-violent offenders that have received maximum sentences such as twenty years or life without the possibility of parole.

The particular case that Kardashian-West has been laser-focused on for the past few years was that of Alice Marie Johnson. In 1996, a court in Memphis, TN tried and convicted her of conspiracy to possess cocaine, attempted possession of cocaine, and money laundering. The shocking part of the trial was not that she was found guilty, in fact since her incarceration she has admitted her guilt to being part of the conspiracy. It was the sentencing phase when the judge delivered a sentence of life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.

Ms. Johnson has been a model prisoner and had even gained praise had hoped for the mentoring and tutoring programs she initiated while being incarcerated.

Many of her supporters had hoped that President Obama would include Ms. Johnson in the hundreds of pardons he signed before leaving office, but alas, she was not one of the 1927 individuals he chose. In fact, only 105 or just over 5 percent of the pardons signed by President Obama were for women inmates.

So Kim Kardashian West hung her hopes on President Trump. She had been lobbying Ms. Johnson’s case with the Office of the President and continued her pleas for clemency with both his daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared Kushner.
