Kim Kardashian played a key role in helping Dawn Jackson, a New Jersey woman, secure her release from prison after serving 25 years. Jackson was sentenced for fatally stabbing her step-grandfather in 1999, a man she claims had been sexually abusing her since childhood. Her public defender advised her to plead guilty to first-degree murder, but her history of abuse was never presented in court.
Kardashian began advocating for Jackson’s release in 2018 after receiving heartfelt letters from her. New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy commuted Jackson’s 30-year sentence, allowing her to go free five years early, with parole supervision until 2029. “Kim has helped free several people over the years,” a source shared, adding that she remains committed to supporting inmates. Kardashian and Jackson are expected to connect in the coming weeks.
