Christina Boyer has been incarcerated since 1992 for the murder of her three-year-old daughter, Amber. She accepted a plea deal through which she was told she could maintain her innocence, and was sentenced to life plus twenty years with the possibility of parole. Her story was recently featured in the ABC Studios documentary Demons and Saviors (Latchkey Films, 2023, available to stream on Hulu). 

Amber died while in the care of Christina's boyfriend at the time, David. Christina was not with Amber during the six hours leading up to her death. Medical evidence indicates that Amber’s death occurred during those six hours. 

David went to trial after Christina entered her plea. He received a 20-year sentence for cruelty to children and was released in 2011.

Christina was told the best way to avoid the death penalty was to accept the guilty plea. Under the Supreme Court case Alford v. North Carolina, Christina should have been able to maintain her innocence and—if she did her time and followed the rules— might eventually receive parole.

However, officials in Georgia have made it clear they will not release Christina unless she admits to something she did not do: beating her daughter to death. 

Christina has served well over the national average sentence for second degree murder, and 10 years more than Georgia's maximum sentence for cruelty to children. It is time for Christina to come home, to spend the rest of her life with her family and friends, and to finally get the chance to visit Amber's grave and properly mourn her daughter.

Christina is keen to be a productive member of society. In prison, she is a mentor to others and a strong member of the prison faith community. She obtained her Associate's degree and is working on her Bachelor's. Other incarcerated women and prison staff speak very highly of her. 

Christina and her family and friends are continuing to receive legal advice about her best legal options; this petition is part of a broader legal strategy to eventually bring Christina home.
