Stacey Ann Lannert (born May 28, 1972, St. Louis, Missouri is an American woman convicted of the murder of her father, Tom Lannert, when she was 18 years old.〔("Stacey Ann Lannert" ), ABC NEWS website.〕 She testified that he had sexually abused her since she was 8 years old. Sentenced to life in prison, she served 18 years. On January 10, 2009, outgoing Missouri Governor Matt Blunt commuted Lannert's sentence and that of another woman convicted under similar circumstances. He said, "After an exhaustive review of the facts in both cases, I am commuting the sentences of Stacey Lannert and Charity Carey, who suffered extensive abuse before they took action against the men who raped them and subjected them to other horrible physical and emotional abuse."〔(JOAN MARTELLI, "Convicted Murderer Released After 18 Years in Prison" ), ABC News ''2020,'' 26 March 2009, accessed 12 September 2014〕 Lannert's new sentence of 20 years made her eligible for immediate conditional release, and she was released on January 16, 2009.〔 Lannert founded a resource website and non-profit organization, Healing Sisters, to aid women who have suffered abuse. In 2011, she published a memoir about her experiences, ''Redemption: A Story of Sisterhood, Survival, and Finding Freedom Behind Bars.'' ==Early life and education== Stacey Lannert was born in St. Louis, Missouri in 1972. Her parents are Deb Underwood and Thomas Lannert. She has said that she was close to her father and he made her feel special. But he was drinking to excess and started sexually abusing her when she was eight, and raped her at nine.〔 Her parents divorced when she was young. Although she tried to tell her mother and a babysitter about her father's rapes, she did not have the language to make them understand, and he had threatened her to keep her quiet. Her sister Christy is two years younger. She has said their father physically abused and beat her from when she was in first grade, becoming especially violent when drinking.〔 Stacey Lannert went to live with her mother, by then in Guam, six months before the murder. Her sister Christy asked her to return, and Lannert tried to persuade her father to let Christy live with her and her mother. He would not let her go.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Stacey Lannert」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
