In an interview with TMZ, Flenory’s lawyer, Brittany K. Barnett, expressed her excitement over the news of his release, stating that she was “overjoyed.” She highlighted that Flenory dedicated his time behind bars to personal development and emphasized that he now has a significant opportunity to embark on a fresh chapter in his life.
“Two decades is an incredibly long time, and it’s been inspiring to witness the power of hope and resilience,” Barnett told Complex in a statement. “He used his time in prison to focus on personal growth and transformation, and now he has the opportunity to begin a new chapter.”
Barnett continued, “He’s out, but millions more remain trapped inside – there’s still so much work to be done. We need to push for real change, for a justice system that recognizes the dignity and potential for redemption in every individual. Our commitment to challenging the injustices that still exist within the criminal legal system remains unwavering. There is nothing more urgent than freedom.”
