Tina Garnett, Just Mercy Chapter 8-11
Trina Garnett was from a poor area in Chester, Pennsylvania. Trina’s father was extremely abusive to her mother, raping her and beating her. She and her siblings learned to hide from him when he was drunk and prowling around the house to abuse them. Trina had intellectual disabilities and suffered disfiguring burns as a young child. After her mother died, her father began sexually abusing her, and so she and her sisters moved to other relatives’ houses, only to find these living situations disrupted by violence, leaving Trina out onto the streets. The desperate circumstances compounded Trina’s emotional and mental health problems. In August 1976, when Trina was fourteen, she accidentally set fire to a friend’s house after sneaking in and lighting matches to see in the dark. The boys she had come to visit were sleeping and died from smoke asphyxiation. The boys’ mother accused her of setting the fire intentionally. Trina’s lawyer was incompetent and didn’t protect her from being charged for second-degree murder as an adult. She was condemned to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Soon after arriving at Muncy women’s prison, a male correctional officer raped and impregnated her. The officer was fired but not prosecuted. Trina gave birth to her son while handcuffed to a bed, and the boy was then taken into foster care. By thirty, prison doctors diagnosed Trina with multiple sclerosis, intellectual disability, and mental illness related to trauma.
