Mia Santoro, previously facing a 20-years-to-life sentence, managed to receive a ten-year probation. Initially convicted after being misrepresented as complicit in a robbery related to her trafficking ordeal, Santoro's parents got attorney Scott Brown to appeal the harsh sentence. The appeal highlighted significant jury instructions errors, notably the misconception of Santoro's duty to prevent the robbery, and inadequacies in recognizing how trafficking victims are coerced. The appeal process, described by Santoro as a "miracle," revealed 12 judicial errors, leading to her victory. Despite being an exemplary inmate and having the support of experts and officials who vouched for her harmlessness, Santoro was initially sentenced to adult prison by Judge Alex Kim. The turnaround came when Santoro's appeal was won, demonstrating the resilience and complexities of legal proceedings involving victims of trafficking.
