Holly, I hope you are released. I have never met you, though I am also a survivor of childhood sexual abuse, I am also gay. I don't think you should have gotten as much time as you have, and I really hope you are doing well. I'm sorry for everything that happened to you.
Charity LaFountain
I wish you luck and hope you can find forgiveness for yourself and you get the freedom you deserve.
Abbigayl Bunnell
The system failed this girl. She deserves more than most a chance at a life.I saw her story on women behind bars, and my heart reached out to her. I support clemency for Holly.

This woman was abused and manipulated by her foster father. She is a victim here also. Such a sad injustice. Let her be free.

Love, peace, healing and freedom to Holly!

This woman has paid more than enough!
Kristin noble
This case is wrong on so many levels. This isn't justice, it is a joke. Free holly, she has been through enough!!!! The prosecutors should be ashamed of themselves.
dana robertson
What about the justice Holly deserves??? Pedophiles infuriate me!!!!! Thank you Holly for taking a stand to make a difference in other children's lives. God can take the bad in ones life and use it for good. Fight the good fight!
Helen Newbold
Having just seen Hollys story on CBS in the UK I'm shocked at how the U.S. judicial system treats such vulnerable young women. Of course there must be justice for victims but Holly is a victim in her own right.
I'm a law student and would love to know if there is any additional support that can be given from this side of the pond to highlight Hollys case and many others who suffer similar injustice?
PAULINE MULDOON
LET HE OR SHE WHO IS WITHOUT SIN CAST THE FIRST STONE !!! ONLY GOD CAN & WILL JUDGE HER !!! IT WOULD BE A VERY NEGATIVE SOCIETY THAT WE LIVE IN IF NO ONE SHOWED THE ACT OF FORGIVENESS & CLEMENCY !!! PLEASE RELEASE HOLLY COOMBER ASAP AS SHE HAS BEEN PUNISHED ENOUGH IN HER LIFE !! THANK YOU ! GOD BLESS .
Rebecca Prescott
Can't believe how much Holly has suffered. She has had absolutely no quality of life at all and is now being punished for crimes I don't believe she had any desire to be involved in.
Tony Chambless
please end this miscarriage of justice
Amber Dewey
Awful story, Holly does not belong in prison. That man took away her life in more way than one.

Holly did not commit a crime--she was a victim of her foster father's repeated crimes. My heart goes out to her so deeply.
Beth Beretta
Please do the right thing and grant clemency to Holly Coomber.
Thank you, and blessings to you.
Laura Travison
Please give clemency and release Holly Coomber. The time she has served has already been egregiously too long. She has shown exemplary actions while in prison. The state placed Holly with a man who raped and beat her while she was a child. She is not a threat to society. Please release her now.
Mary Jane Murphy
I cannot believe this woman is still in prison! She deserves a fair shake after all this time. Please grant the cleanly petition..
paul schmitz
we must believe in forgiveness.
R. Birchall Perkins
All this woman ever wanted was to be loved; she said it herself on "Women Behind Bars". She was put into a terrible situation where she was placed with a man that was a manipulative, homophobic, sociopathic pedophile and Holly is being punished for his crimes. He admits that he tried to rape the "lesbianism" out of her! She was 17 years old and being raped by her foster dad. She should not be in prison at all! If this is not a case of battered woman's syndrome, I don't know what is! Our system failed her her entire life - the least that it can do now is allow her to spend the rest of the time she has as a free woman. Yes, there are victims in these crimes, but they are victims of Holly's foster parent, just like Holly is one of his victims. She should be let out to be free for the 1st time in her life.
Rand eye Billings
Her life is in your hands . The lives of the victims was enriched with love and remembrance of love . What does the victims family gain by not allowing Holly Coomber to experience Love. This is a tragedy by the foster care system . If Holly Coomber really had True love , we might be celebrating her success not her stolen life. Think what that demon took from all life . Please give Holly Coomber a chance to love.
Rand eye Billings
A sin of any kind is still called a sin. What happens when you're not forgiven ? I understAnd and forgive you Holly . Don't forget the second chance you've been giving:) smile you are free ! [email protected]

I think she had no choices at the time a victim herself. She deserve a chance at life without the abuse of a very disturbed man like her Foster father.

Holly Coomber is a victim just like the women that were killed by William Allen.

This teenager never had anyone to trust and was ripe for this pedophiles control. She was not a participant in these murders.
Shame on a justice system that can convict another victim of this man's atrocities!
Rebecca Lincoln
Holly is just another victim of pure evil. Please free her so she can at least spend part of her life not being abused!
Aleacia
I am deeply saddened and horrified by holly's story. Holly is a lifelong victim of her upbringing and the system meant to protect children. The system seriiusky failed her. My heart goes out to the victims families of the terrible crime she is paying for but she was just a scared helpless child and is as much a victim any. What was a scared 17 yo child controlled by a murderess psychopath supposed to do in this situation. I feel holly as more than paid for any involvement she had in these horrific crimes.
Precious Robinson
The state of New York failed her.

System failed her
Gary and Lisa Beall
I can not get my mind off of Holly since I saw her story on Women Behind Bars. She was a child under the "care" of an abuser and monster. My prayer is that she will be released and given the care and love she most certainly deserves. God bless her, always.
Ali Brower
She was so young!
Diane M
Holly needs to be given clemensy. The system and people have failed her all her life. It's time to set this woman free so she can live the life she truly deserves.
Samantha Hetemaj
Holly has been failed by many people as well as the courts! She served way more then enough of her life for something she should of never been in prison for. She seems strong minded and i hope she can move forward when shes finally out! I'd help in any possible way. Jail mail, money when shes out (im close to ny) place to stay anything! I can relate to too much in her life unfortunately. FREE HOLY!!!
Anonymous
I am seriously saddened by Holly's story. CLEARLY, during her critical formative years, she was introduced to the opposite of unconditional love. That leaves a scar so deep, it's rarely recovered from. As a society, we need to recognize this epidemic and start TREATING these people rather than incarcerating them. Holly, if you see this, I'm very proud of you taking responsibility for your actions although, I believe, you never had a choice to behave any other way. I will continue to pray for you.

I can't believe how this lady slipped through the cracks. She was failed by many and can't even begin to understand her sufferage.
Debra Ruth Poliquin
Holly's case is a complete travesty. She was handed off over and over only to be finally handed to her abuser who then had her emancipated so she would then be considered an adult. His intentions are heinous as are his many crimes. Where is the justice for Holly being raped by her foster father? Where is any justice for Holly. The foster care system is COMPLETELY BROKEN and has become a playground for pedophiles who get paid to abuse children who have already lost so much. This makes me sick to my stomach.
I'm so sorry Holly. You've been failed over and over by the very systems that were supposed to protect you. My heart goes out to you and I will include you in my every prayer.
Jo-Z Powers
Enough is enough. Free Holly. Jo-Z Powers

I am good friends with one of Holly's brothers. Her being in prison for 3 decades now is truly horrible. It was terrible that people were killed here in NY state and in Georgia but Holly was a victim of this monster as well. He did the killings and used her as a lookout. Actual murderers do a lot less than 30 years. Why in God's name is she still rotting in prison??
Lynn Pitts
This should've been a concurrent, not consecutive, sentence anyway. She's done more than her fair share of time behind bars.

As a survivor of sexual abuse my whole childhood and the first 4 years of my adult life, This woman needs to be released. This poor woman was made to be a part of those horrific crimes. The true purpatrator and evil person is serving time for the crimes. This woman is another victim who is being punished and still being tortured by that man. Let her go!
Julia Robinson
Free Holly!! It is disguisting to see this woman still behind bars, the system has done nothing but fail Holly her whole life.
Sheryl Walker
Holly deserves clemency. We, as a society, are responsible for destroying this child, robbing her of her childhood, and giving her to a murderer and pedophile who was her state-approved foster father. It is he who is solely responsible for these murders. This woman has served enough time. Please grant clemency to Holly.
Annemarie Falcone
They put the murderer away for good. Holly should file suit against the Foster Agency that handed her over to that monster. Let this woman live what is left of her life in peace. Keeping her locked away will not bring back the dead.

Please free her...she was a victim of domestic violence and had these crimes forced upon her.
Naz Buffkins
Free Holly Coomber!! The State has failed to protect this child from severe abuse and has further abused her by imprisoning her. How can this possibly be justice? Am baffled by the legal system. Who protects the vulnerable and the innocent battered abused women and children?
Patti Roberts
Please free Holly Coomber, I just watched her story on a crime show. This is a complete travesty of justice her being imprisoned for so long. She was victimized all her life by people who were supposed to care for her. Her history and age at the time of the crimes should have been taken into account

It was a miscarriage of justice, given her life's circumstances as well as fearing for her life from her foster father, to treat her as a criminal. It saddens me that the courts don't take it into account the helplessness of somebody in her position.

Daniel harvey
Free holly. She should have been out years ago..
Mandy Dimock
Free those enslaved long before the legal system placed the bars in the way. Long term abuse has long term effects. Being controlled by another person is possible, such is this case. Holly has been a prisoner, in some fashion, her whole life. She was taken in, taken advantage of, abused, raped and her whole self taken over by a male in an authoritative position, only to be used further by him during illegal acts, then further abused by him in court. She's not absolute evil!! She's another lost child that only tried to survive. She is now a convicted killer because we, as a whole, did not protect her as a child. She deserves a life without fear or abuse. She's been caged her entire life, open the gate, let her fly free!!!
Ann Marie Fuccello
We can't ignore what Holly went through as a child and we should all know that even children badly abused who survive still want love and acceptance from their parents and will do anything to please them. Holly is a victim of this man so clearly and it's time she be given a chance to have some peace.
Rustie Salazar
Such a shame that this woman is still imprisoned. I am 54 years old and don't know exactly how I would react being under that kind of control. I can't imagine how it was for Holly at 17 years old.

So so sad. First of foremost my condolences to the family. But as a victim of abuse since birth, i must say. You never understand until you experience it. We failed her horribly. So sad.

This woman has been abused since the beginning of her life, the man who actually
Committed the murders clearly kept this woman like a hostage. He is a disgusting human being. This should have never gotten this far.

I was deeply saddened and troubled to learn of the details of this case. As a N.Y. native, I'm ashamed of the level to which the State failed to protect Holly as a child. It is clear Holly was a victim of William Allen herself and should not be serving time.
Dee Askew
The system totally failed her. Free Holly!
Justine Johansen
This has to be one of the cruelest miscarriages of justice imaginable, particularly given what her dreadful foster father now freely admits to.
Edith Coppersmith
This victimized person Holly Coomber is a travesty of fair treatment of our fellow man. This goes against our very commitment of justice for all! The people who lost loved ones during a crime committed upon them are also victims. Their loved one's can not be returned. Do not allow yourselves to be guilty of wrongful death as well in the process of seeking justice. Holly Coomber did not commit these crimes and was forced to be alongside a very ill hate monger. Our very own system put Holly Coomber with this Murderer/Rapist/Child Molester. Yes our system is a mess. So free this victim Holly Coomber to begin the correction of fair treatment. Holly Coomber is a victim! I am certain the victims that were killed would scream out for Holly Coomber's innocence. This will help all of us heal.
Raelynn
When I saw this story and saw how sincerely you broke down on national tv, it made me break down. I for one know what it is like to want a fathers love, to which never recive. So I know exactly how bad it feels. I still cant think or say my dads name with out crying hysterically. Unfortunately other horrendous things have happened to you that I couldn't begin to say I understand, but those should have taken into consideration years ago! Especially from our Justice System!
I can not believe this story and how long our "Justice System" has turned their head and back on you! It is unbelievable how many people in our Justice System have such a closed mind. Their life was perfect, so they don't understand what it is like for those who have had issues. And to me that is their job to open their minds and try to place them in "our" shoes. But they don't. Iam so sorry for everything you have went threw, and hope this petition can help open their eyes to the injustice that is happening and has happened to you for so many years! I truly believe if Holly Coomber was let out today she would be a wonderful part of society and would help change so many peoples lives! America is land of the free!!! She has served her time, now it is time to let her shine!!!!! LET HOLLY FREE!!!!!!!!!

We the undersigned individuals join the Organizations in Support of Holly Coomber in declaring our support for the release of Holly Coomber from prison in New York State. Holly has already served more years in prison than ever contemplated by the courts in which she was prosecuted for crimes committed by the man charged by law with her welfare. There is no legitimate reason to continue to punish her with confinement. Holly Coomber needs the benefit of the more elevated professional treatment and vocational guidance available outside the prison setting to continue her path forward beyond what the prison system can and does provide for her continuing rehabilitation. Holly Coomber has made great strides in personal development during her two decades of confinement and has earned clemency in the form of a commutation of her minimum sentence in New York. We urge Governor David Paterson to grant clemency to Holly Coomber
Kristen Matthews
Holly is completely innocent of this crime. She was a young, gay, teenager left in the care of a monster and was dealt a horrible hand in life. She needs the freedom to live the rest of the life she’s got out of prison. This case angered me!
Tara Babcock
Holly, I am so sorry. Where is Holly’s justice? This “system” has failed Holly. Holly was used and abused and the courts locked her up for it.

The state clearly screwed up with Holly. She has been abused enough. I feel the state owes Holly. She should be released from prison and the state should pay for the help she needs and deserves. I am sorry for the victims and their families. I am sorry for Holly,so many people let her down. So many people are to blame for this entire situation. Let her go.

I am a victim of physical and sexual abuse with severe manipulation tactics used on me. I am a nurse with 3 college degrees. I am well known im my community for my compassion and professional role. Holly is a victim in this case, until one can put themselves in her shoes and be empathetic, they will never understand. Its so easy to prosecute and lock someone up, but thats not the answer! Holly is clearly remorseful and was under a spell of control and fear. I could have been just as much capable of the crime if I was in her shoes. She has not even gotten to live yet and was dealt a tough life. She is not a murderer and keeping her imprisoned only makes the justice system the monsters!!! Her life was taken away at a young age, she deserves to be let free, and finally live! She shouldnt be punished and left in a cell to rot at the hands of the justice system and the heartless people that ripped her heart out growing up! Have some compassion, its easy to say what you think needs to happen but these prosecutors need to really be empethic and compassionate because if put in Hollys shoes they could have very well been in prison too! I really took to Hollys story and hope she is given a chance at life soon!!! Please let Holly free, she has served enough time, let her experience and life and heart free so that she can reach out to others in the community and help them..Its time to let her live, free her from torment! Love you Holly!

If I could write Holly I would but I don't know how to contact her. I grew up in a similar situation and I believe her side of the story word for word. I can't believe that she got convicted of William Allens sick crime. It's no wonder he chose her over his own wife, he was sexually abusive and raping her. I know deep down she never wanted any of it. She lived such a rough life always asking out for help as I used to do. It pains me and breaks my heart. I only wish for her freedom. If I could I would hug her for hours and tell her it's okay to be gay, it's okay you are free now.

I was raised in 49 group homes from 8 to 17. I understand Holly’s mindset and hear pain. This is not Justice that she got, she is the escape goat here. Please understand that if you do not have experience in extreme circumstances such as ours, You cannot possibly understand the mindset of us. There is no help for kids like Holly, myself or any other kid thrown into bizarre living situations. Please free Holly. She will always be scarred and troubled, but not necessarily a criminal. SHe deserves to be free.
Jessica Blackburn
Please, Holly was nothing short of a baby when these crimes occurred. Up until that point due to her circumstances she had the cards completely stacked against her. I strongly feel her incarceration was absolutely unjustified. Why was there no lenience? I recently lost my own brother to murder. One would think that I would say she deserves the death penalty because of my own circumstances. But it's completely the opposite. She did not deserve the sentence that she received in my opinion. Please consider clemency for Holly Coomber.
Sincerely,
Jessica Blackburn

Carla Hensley
Hi my name is Carla Hensley and I saw Holly's story on April 17th 2018 and I am pretty outraged about this case. Holly went through her young life horribly. Basically being thrown away like garbage which she isnt. Then she was raped repeatedly by this man which caused her to get pregnant with his baby and was forced to give her baby up and then this man involves her into his world of nothing but sadistic acts upon her and then drags her along which it was his plans of getting more money. And intent to kill for no reason but caused Holly was there she gets prison time for 'WHAT"? She wasinside the stores didn't pull the trigger nor plan any of the crime she was convicted for. Now my thing is was any of the law enforcement prosecutors judge that presided over this case or any of the jurors there to see weather or not she actially was involved in these horrific nurders? No. Law needs changing on cases like these all over the United States and ending of my comment. It's time to free Holly and I hope This Message gets to Holly. when you are free sue the hell out of the States of Georgia and New York City for false imprisonment and not doing their jobs of protecting you from abuse and neglect as a child therefore this would not have happened. "FREE HOLLY" and her foster father done made a statement at the end that Holly had no involvement of any of the charges, murders etc So therefore FREE HER. Thank You!
Sherri Bare
Please release her!!! She has paid for her crime!!!

My heart breaks for everyone involved but I think Holly was abandoned by the system and every human she came in contact with. I beg you to consider her freedom. She does not deserve to continue to be failed by the system and humans, especially ones that have been blessed with the kind of love she was never given. Holly should be given the opportunity to find that love and freedom now.

My heart breaks for Holly. She deserves a life of support and healing, not a life behind bars. She was a frightened and abused child when she was forced to participate in the crimes, and is clearly remorseful. I hope that she is released as soon as possible, and is given support in transitioning back into society.

Holly was 17 at the time of the crime. She did not pull the trigger or mastermind the crime. She did not kill those women.

One of the worst cases of injustice I have ever heard of. What an atrocity! The governor of New York state needs to show his humanity on this one and soon. Horrible...
Anonymous
The state of New York should be sued for the negligence of allowing a dependent to be permanently placed without supervision of the court. This negligence resulted in Holly's confirmed sexual abuse by her caregiver. Holly endured years of sexual, physical, and most likely emotional abuse, in addition to the abuse and abandonment she experienced prior by the adoptive family. Why are the effects of her abuse not taken into consideration? How is this not obvious?? Further, HOLLY WAS A MINOR. She was with her "parent" who she has been raped by continuously and violently. She has been subjected to abuse most of her life and unable to count on anyone including the state for help. How is she expected to have stood up to her abuser in this case? Did the judge and jury actually believe the man who adopted a child and raped her for years and legitimately believed at the time that what he was doing was ok? This case is so disturbing and highlights the injustices that are so common amoung abused children.
Lu Stanton-Karczewska
A person should not be imprisoned for a) an act they did not commit, and b) being the product of abuse. It defies all humanity. Holly should be free to recover and have a life. Let her go.

She was unfairly convicted and she was treated in an occult mentality by someone that was supposed to care for her, but chose to abuse her and left her with no self worth. Holly was a young adult with no where to go and her foster father took advantage of her and kept her in that mentality that you have nowhere to go and no one will ever love you this is so it's ok if I abuse you. This is what I consider Occult mentality. I hope she is released SOON!

I've only just become aware of Holly's story. And heard what her foster father has confessed to. This evil excuse of a man has ruined the lives of his victims and their families. Why should Holly suffer any longer for something she had no control over?

The way Holly had been done is a true injustice, how can anyone look at what she went thru, who controlled her, tortured her, and not see how wrong this is. You could see and feel the true remorse she feels!! HOLLY YOU ARE NOT NOTHING YOU ARE A STRONG, SMART, WOMAN AND YOU WILL OVERCOME!!

I would like to support Holly by writing to her. Does she want mail or can she receive mail?

I’m absolutely outraged that Holly went to prison over this. Horrible call on the Prosecutors part. This should have never happened. I will participate in any way I can to see her released and rehabilitated.
Amanda Miller
I cannot believe this woman is still in prison!! Her sentence should have at least run concurrently!!! She shouldn’t have spent time in prison at all anyways!!! She was obviously a victim of a type of Stockholm syndrome. The “justice” system in the U.S. is not even about justice anymore, it’s only about winning the case no matter what or who it hurts!
Pam Hays
I would like to write a letter to Holly, if at all possible. I just want her to know I know a lot her pain agree suffered. That she's not alone, and whole what she suffered through does not condone what happened, there are people out in the Free world that can empathize, understand and know her pain.

Holly does not belong in prison. Damn sure not for a SECOND life sentence!! Gross miscarriage of Justice.
robin smith
Holly I cried while watching the horrible way you were treated as a child. I did not know that you were sentenced to life. I hope the comment made by another supporter is inaccurate. Bedford Correction's web site shows that you were released. Can someone clear this up for me. I care about you Holly. Your life matters

I just watched her story on women behind bars. I can’t understand how anyone could think she deserves what she got. Abused and manipulated from such a young age by her sick adoptive father, I feel for her. I feel for the families who lost loved ones but they need to try to understand why and how this happened.
Annie Booth
Holly was a victim of the state who placed her in William Allen’s Care without doing due diligence to discover he was a filthy paedophilic and criminal and no follow up care on young Holly. The state should be ashamed of how they have treated this victim of abused caused by its own neglect. She was abused and under Allen’s coercive control, living in fear of him. Shame on the USA’s state department, family services and so called justice. The measure of a nation is how it treats its weakest members, you give yours to sadistic paedophiles then punish them for the sins of their so called carer. Nice society indeed...
andy hoard
Her time is unjust considering she was a sexually abused minor at the time of the offense.
Amanda Spiva
Holly I’m so sorry for the cards life has dealt you from day one. Life isn’t fair. It wasn’t fair for the victims to lose their lives. So terribly unfair. Although you are alive, you too were a victim of a different kind. I don’t know you but I truly feel that you are sorry for the terrible events that took place while you were abandoned by all and in the grip of that monster. I understand that you are a good writer. I’m sure you can use your writing skills to express yourself, pay tribute to the lives lost, and make your mark in the world. It’s time for Holly Coomber to have a life out of prison. Please give Holly Coomber clemency. Please.

Holly was a young teenage girl just a child who was under the control a faux parent who had compete power and control over her - this is so disgusting and sad that this man was able to do this to her life. Completely ruined it, came in and stOle her childhood and changed her life before she even came an adult - she's suffered way too long for the crimes of this man who dragged his daughter around like a sexual toy.. she had no one to save her, the state let him get custody, gave her to a predator and this is what he did while he had control of her... I just can't get over the fact that holly got life. Please see the injustice in this and free her give her a chance at life as an adult in the free world, which she never experienced so how sad.

Holly, I hope you are released. I have never met you, though I am also a survivor of childhood sexual abuse, I am also gay. I don't think you should have gotten as much time as you have, and I really hope you are doing well. I'm sorry for everything that happened to you.
I wish you luck and hope you can find forgiveness for yourself and you get the freedom you deserve.
The system failed this girl. She deserves more than most a chance at a life.I saw her story on women behind bars, and my heart reached out to her. I support clemency for Holly.
She has paid a horrible price long before she was inprisoned .. Someone shld stop this woman's suffering!!!!
Can't believe this is in jail. Let her out!
Holly should not be in prison!
This woman was abused and manipulated by her foster father. She is a victim here also. Such a sad injustice. Let her be free.
Love, peace, healing and freedom to Holly!
This woman has paid more than enough!
This case is wrong on so many levels. This isn't justice, it is a joke. Free holly, she has been through enough!!!! The prosecutors should be ashamed of themselves.
What about the justice Holly deserves??? Pedophiles infuriate me!!!!! Thank you Holly for taking a stand to make a difference in other children's lives. God can take the bad in ones life and use it for good. Fight the good fight!
Having just seen Hollys story on CBS in the UK I'm shocked at how the U.S. judicial system treats such vulnerable young women. Of course there must be justice for victims but Holly is a victim in her own right. I'm a law student and would love to know if there is any additional support that can be given from this side of the pond to highlight Hollys case and many others who suffer similar injustice?
LET HE OR SHE WHO IS WITHOUT SIN CAST THE FIRST STONE !!! ONLY GOD CAN & WILL JUDGE HER !!! IT WOULD BE A VERY NEGATIVE SOCIETY THAT WE LIVE IN IF NO ONE SHOWED THE ACT OF FORGIVENESS & CLEMENCY !!! PLEASE RELEASE HOLLY COOMBER ASAP AS SHE HAS BEEN PUNISHED ENOUGH IN HER LIFE !! THANK YOU ! GOD BLESS .
Can't believe how much Holly has suffered. She has had absolutely no quality of life at all and is now being punished for crimes I don't believe she had any desire to be involved in.
please end this miscarriage of justice
Awful story, Holly does not belong in prison. That man took away her life in more way than one.
Holly did not commit a crime--she was a victim of her foster father's repeated crimes. My heart goes out to her so deeply.
Please do the right thing and grant clemency to Holly Coomber. Thank you, and blessings to you.
Please give clemency and release Holly Coomber. The time she has served has already been egregiously too long. She has shown exemplary actions while in prison. The state placed Holly with a man who raped and beat her while she was a child. She is not a threat to society. Please release her now.
I cannot believe this woman is still in prison! She deserves a fair shake after all this time. Please grant the cleanly petition..
we must believe in forgiveness.
All this woman ever wanted was to be loved; she said it herself on "Women Behind Bars". She was put into a terrible situation where she was placed with a man that was a manipulative, homophobic, sociopathic pedophile and Holly is being punished for his crimes. He admits that he tried to rape the "lesbianism" out of her! She was 17 years old and being raped by her foster dad. She should not be in prison at all! If this is not a case of battered woman's syndrome, I don't know what is! Our system failed her her entire life - the least that it can do now is allow her to spend the rest of the time she has as a free woman. Yes, there are victims in these crimes, but they are victims of Holly's foster parent, just like Holly is one of his victims. She should be let out to be free for the 1st time in her life.
Her life is in your hands . The lives of the victims was enriched with love and remembrance of love . What does the victims family gain by not allowing Holly Coomber to experience Love. This is a tragedy by the foster care system . If Holly Coomber really had True love , we might be celebrating her success not her stolen life. Think what that demon took from all life . Please give Holly Coomber a chance to love.
A sin of any kind is still called a sin. What happens when you're not forgiven ? I understAnd and forgive you Holly . Don't forget the second chance you've been giving:) smile you are free ! [email protected]
She isa Trauma victim and just because the prosecuter and police were not trained with the skills to properly attend to bob runs does not mean she should be puns he's for her trauma.
FREE HOLLY!
Please Free Holly !!!!
Please release Holly! This has gone on far too long!
I think she had no choices at the time a victim herself. She deserve a chance at life without the abuse of a very disturbed man like her Foster father.
I believe in you
Never should have gone to jail.
She needs to be released! She also suffered so much! I pray one day soon she sees freedom.
She was as much a victim of her foster father as those he murdered!
Holly Coomber is a victim just like the women that were killed by William Allen.
Free Holly!! GOD BLESS HER!!
This teenager never had anyone to trust and was ripe for this pedophiles control. She was not a participant in these murders. Shame on a justice system that can convict another victim of this man's atrocities!
Holly is just another victim of pure evil. Please free her so she can at least spend part of her life not being abused!
I am deeply saddened and horrified by holly's story. Holly is a lifelong victim of her upbringing and the system meant to protect children. The system seriiusky failed her. My heart goes out to the victims families of the terrible crime she is paying for but she was just a scared helpless child and is as much a victim any. What was a scared 17 yo child controlled by a murderess psychopath supposed to do in this situation. I feel holly as more than paid for any involvement she had in these horrific crimes.
The state of New York failed her.
System failed her
I can not get my mind off of Holly since I saw her story on Women Behind Bars. She was a child under the "care" of an abuser and monster. My prayer is that she will be released and given the care and love she most certainly deserves. God bless her, always.
She was so young!
Holly needs to be given clemensy. The system and people have failed her all her life. It's time to set this woman free so she can live the life she truly deserves.
Holly has been failed by many people as well as the courts! She served way more then enough of her life for something she should of never been in prison for. She seems strong minded and i hope she can move forward when shes finally out! I'd help in any possible way. Jail mail, money when shes out (im close to ny) place to stay anything! I can relate to too much in her life unfortunately. FREE HOLY!!!
I am seriously saddened by Holly's story. CLEARLY, during her critical formative years, she was introduced to the opposite of unconditional love. That leaves a scar so deep, it's rarely recovered from. As a society, we need to recognize this epidemic and start TREATING these people rather than incarcerating them. Holly, if you see this, I'm very proud of you taking responsibility for your actions although, I believe, you never had a choice to behave any other way. I will continue to pray for you.
I can't believe how this lady slipped through the cracks. She was failed by many and can't even begin to understand her sufferage.
Holly's case is a complete travesty. She was handed off over and over only to be finally handed to her abuser who then had her emancipated so she would then be considered an adult. His intentions are heinous as are his many crimes. Where is the justice for Holly being raped by her foster father? Where is any justice for Holly. The foster care system is COMPLETELY BROKEN and has become a playground for pedophiles who get paid to abuse children who have already lost so much. This makes me sick to my stomach. I'm so sorry Holly. You've been failed over and over by the very systems that were supposed to protect you. My heart goes out to you and I will include you in my every prayer.
Enough is enough. Free Holly. Jo-Z Powers
I am good friends with one of Holly's brothers. Her being in prison for 3 decades now is truly horrible. It was terrible that people were killed here in NY state and in Georgia but Holly was a victim of this monster as well. He did the killings and used her as a lookout. Actual murderers do a lot less than 30 years. Why in God's name is she still rotting in prison??
This should've been a concurrent, not consecutive, sentence anyway. She's done more than her fair share of time behind bars.
I truly believe she deserves a chance.
God Bless Holly
Free Holly!!!
As a survivor of sexual abuse my whole childhood and the first 4 years of my adult life, This woman needs to be released. This poor woman was made to be a part of those horrific crimes. The true purpatrator and evil person is serving time for the crimes. This woman is another victim who is being punished and still being tortured by that man. Let her go!
Free Holly!! It is disguisting to see this woman still behind bars, the system has done nothing but fail Holly her whole life.
Holly deserves clemency. We, as a society, are responsible for destroying this child, robbing her of her childhood, and giving her to a murderer and pedophile who was her state-approved foster father. It is he who is solely responsible for these murders. This woman has served enough time. Please grant clemency to Holly.
They put the murderer away for good. Holly should file suit against the Foster Agency that handed her over to that monster. Let this woman live what is left of her life in peace. Keeping her locked away will not bring back the dead.
Free holly she was a victim she should have never been put in jail
Please free her...she was a victim of domestic violence and had these crimes forced upon her.
Free Holly Coomber!! The State has failed to protect this child from severe abuse and has further abused her by imprisoning her. How can this possibly be justice? Am baffled by the legal system. Who protects the vulnerable and the innocent battered abused women and children?
Please free Holly Coomber, I just watched her story on a crime show. This is a complete travesty of justice her being imprisoned for so long. She was victimized all her life by people who were supposed to care for her. Her history and age at the time of the crimes should have been taken into account
What is the status of this case? Is this an old partition?
Free Holly
It was a miscarriage of justice, given her life's circumstances as well as fearing for her life from her foster father, to treat her as a criminal. It saddens me that the courts don't take it into account the helplessness of somebody in her position.
She has suffered enough. Let her go.
The system lets people down and punishes them for it :-(
Holly Coomber has suffered enough for the rest of her life. It's time for her to get a chance at being happy and free for once in her life!
It's time to re-examine all the factors around this case. She was a child!!! He was her primary caregiver! Her abuser! She had to do what he told her to do, otherwise she may become yet another victim herself!
an abused child does not deserve to spend her entire adult life in prison for crimes she was forced to be involved with by her abusive foster father
Free holly. She should have been out years ago..
Free those enslaved long before the legal system placed the bars in the way. Long term abuse has long term effects. Being controlled by another person is possible, such is this case. Holly has been a prisoner, in some fashion, her whole life. She was taken in, taken advantage of, abused, raped and her whole self taken over by a male in an authoritative position, only to be used further by him during illegal acts, then further abused by him in court. She's not absolute evil!! She's another lost child that only tried to survive. She is now a convicted killer because we, as a whole, did not protect her as a child. She deserves a life without fear or abuse. She's been caged her entire life, open the gate, let her fly free!!!
We can't ignore what Holly went through as a child and we should all know that even children badly abused who survive still want love and acceptance from their parents and will do anything to please them. Holly is a victim of this man so clearly and it's time she be given a chance to have some peace.
Such a shame that this woman is still imprisoned. I am 54 years old and don't know exactly how I would react being under that kind of control. I can't imagine how it was for Holly at 17 years old.
This woman was abused since birth. She needs to be freed. She lived in constant fear of her adoptive father. What would you do in the same situation, especially when the system has failed you time and time again?
Praying for your release.
So so sad. First of foremost my condolences to the family. But as a victim of abuse since birth, i must say. You never understand until you experience it. We failed her horribly. So sad.
This woman has been abused since the beginning of her life, the man who actually Committed the murders clearly kept this woman like a hostage. He is a disgusting human being. This should have never gotten this far.
She deserves a life of her on FREE HOLY COOMBER
I was deeply saddened and troubled to learn of the details of this case. As a N.Y. native, I'm ashamed of the level to which the State failed to protect Holly as a child. It is clear Holly was a victim of William Allen herself and should not be serving time.
The system totally failed her. Free Holly!
This has to be one of the cruelest miscarriages of justice imaginable, particularly given what her dreadful foster father now freely admits to.
This victimized person Holly Coomber is a travesty of fair treatment of our fellow man. This goes against our very commitment of justice for all! The people who lost loved ones during a crime committed upon them are also victims. Their loved one's can not be returned. Do not allow yourselves to be guilty of wrongful death as well in the process of seeking justice. Holly Coomber did not commit these crimes and was forced to be alongside a very ill hate monger. Our very own system put Holly Coomber with this Murderer/Rapist/Child Molester. Yes our system is a mess. So free this victim Holly Coomber to begin the correction of fair treatment. Holly Coomber is a victim! I am certain the victims that were killed would scream out for Holly Coomber's innocence. This will help all of us heal.
When I saw this story and saw how sincerely you broke down on national tv, it made me break down. I for one know what it is like to want a fathers love, to which never recive. So I know exactly how bad it feels. I still cant think or say my dads name with out crying hysterically. Unfortunately other horrendous things have happened to you that I couldn't begin to say I understand, but those should have taken into consideration years ago! Especially from our Justice System! I can not believe this story and how long our "Justice System" has turned their head and back on you! It is unbelievable how many people in our Justice System have such a closed mind. Their life was perfect, so they don't understand what it is like for those who have had issues. And to me that is their job to open their minds and try to place them in "our" shoes. But they don't. Iam so sorry for everything you have went threw, and hope this petition can help open their eyes to the injustice that is happening and has happened to you for so many years! I truly believe if Holly Coomber was let out today she would be a wonderful part of society and would help change so many peoples lives! America is land of the free!!! She has served her time, now it is time to let her shine!!!!! LET HOLLY FREE!!!!!!!!!
Please free her this poor woman doesn't deserve this.
Her time has been served and she shows great promise and immense personal growth, give her the chance she never had.
On behalf of sexual assault victims around the world, including myself, please free Holly Coomber
Free Holly!
This woman has more than served her time. To continue her incarceration is to continue to victimize her.
Free Holly!
After seeing this story i am moved and feel so strongly Holly has served her time. It saddens me that the system has yet again lost a child and put them through more abuse ..THE SYSTEM FAILED THIS WOMAN..Praying for you Holly..
Free Holly
She should have a second chance!!
Can not believe she went away for this... she was so obviously completely under control of her monsterous foster father. Complete Miscarriage of justice.
This woman deserves clemency.
The justice system has failed us this time. Holly deserves to be free. Please do what is right.
Please release her.
She should not be in prison he admitted to the killings. Please I beg of you let her go
Free this woman get incarceration is too long!
FREE HOLLY NOW!!! WHY THE HELL SHE STILL IN THERE!!!!
We the undersigned individuals join the Organizations in Support of Holly Coomber in declaring our support for the release of Holly Coomber from prison in New York State. Holly has already served more years in prison than ever contemplated by the courts in which she was prosecuted for crimes committed by the man charged by law with her welfare. There is no legitimate reason to continue to punish her with confinement. Holly Coomber needs the benefit of the more elevated professional treatment and vocational guidance available outside the prison setting to continue her path forward beyond what the prison system can and does provide for her continuing rehabilitation. Holly Coomber has made great strides in personal development during her two decades of confinement and has earned clemency in the form of a commutation of her minimum sentence in New York. We urge Governor David Paterson to grant clemency to Holly Coomber
Holly is completely innocent of this crime. She was a young, gay, teenager left in the care of a monster and was dealt a horrible hand in life. She needs the freedom to live the rest of the life she’s got out of prison. This case angered me!
Holly, I am so sorry. Where is Holly’s justice? This “system” has failed Holly. Holly was used and abused and the courts locked her up for it.
The state clearly screwed up with Holly. She has been abused enough. I feel the state owes Holly. She should be released from prison and the state should pay for the help she needs and deserves. I am sorry for the victims and their families. I am sorry for Holly,so many people let her down. So many people are to blame for this entire situation. Let her go.
I can't even start to believe how tragic it is she is still incarcerated. Be strong xx
The system let her down they allowed her a 17year old child to be placed in the hands of a predator and now they wash their hands of her shame on you all may God shine his light on her and give her back her life one took from her first from the system and then from a man who admits he would have killed her had he had to ...
Give Holly a chance to be human, not just a victim.
Free Holly! Give her back the innocence that was robbed from her, in more ways than one.
This poor woman has been through enough. She never even had a chance at life.
FREE HOLLY NOW!!
Free Holly she has suffered enough!
I am a victim of physical and sexual abuse with severe manipulation tactics used on me. I am a nurse with 3 college degrees. I am well known im my community for my compassion and professional role. Holly is a victim in this case, until one can put themselves in her shoes and be empathetic, they will never understand. Its so easy to prosecute and lock someone up, but thats not the answer! Holly is clearly remorseful and was under a spell of control and fear. I could have been just as much capable of the crime if I was in her shoes. She has not even gotten to live yet and was dealt a tough life. She is not a murderer and keeping her imprisoned only makes the justice system the monsters!!! Her life was taken away at a young age, she deserves to be let free, and finally live! She shouldnt be punished and left in a cell to rot at the hands of the justice system and the heartless people that ripped her heart out growing up! Have some compassion, its easy to say what you think needs to happen but these prosecutors need to really be empethic and compassionate because if put in Hollys shoes they could have very well been in prison too! I really took to Hollys story and hope she is given a chance at life soon!!! Please let Holly free, she has served enough time, let her experience and life and heart free so that she can reach out to others in the community and help them..Its time to let her live, free her from torment! Love you Holly!
Victim of a pedo
If I could write Holly I would but I don't know how to contact her. I grew up in a similar situation and I believe her side of the story word for word. I can't believe that she got convicted of William Allens sick crime. It's no wonder he chose her over his own wife, he was sexually abusive and raping her. I know deep down she never wanted any of it. She lived such a rough life always asking out for help as I used to do. It pains me and breaks my heart. I only wish for her freedom. If I could I would hug her for hours and tell her it's okay to be gay, it's okay you are free now.
I was raised in 49 group homes from 8 to 17. I understand Holly’s mindset and hear pain. This is not Justice that she got, she is the escape goat here. Please understand that if you do not have experience in extreme circumstances such as ours, You cannot possibly understand the mindset of us. There is no help for kids like Holly, myself or any other kid thrown into bizarre living situations. Please free Holly. She will always be scarred and troubled, but not necessarily a criminal. SHe deserves to be free.
Please, Holly was nothing short of a baby when these crimes occurred. Up until that point due to her circumstances she had the cards completely stacked against her. I strongly feel her incarceration was absolutely unjustified. Why was there no lenience? I recently lost my own brother to murder. One would think that I would say she deserves the death penalty because of my own circumstances. But it's completely the opposite. She did not deserve the sentence that she received in my opinion. Please consider clemency for Holly Coomber. Sincerely, Jessica Blackburn Bailey, CO
I will pray for her. This is an absolute travesty!
Lazy officials need to do their job! I’m embarrassed for these people free this woman.
My heart breaks for everything that poor woman went through
Holly, you're in my thoughts darling.
She deserves a second chance.
She deserves a second chance.
I have been watching women behind bars and to be honest most of them I dont believe and dont think they deserve less time. But Holly, my god, that poor girl, that man should have gotten the death penalty, Trying to DRIVE the lesbian out of her, that sick bastard. She deserves clemency. I feel for her and all that she has been through. And I am sorry that you had to have a life that was so horrible. Stay strong.
Why is this still happening?! The person who headed all of this has made it clear what he did was wrong to this person whose entire life was filled with hurt and bad people who were responsible to raising her, yet she is still in prison ?! Get her out! Are people blind?????
There has been no new information on Holly since 2013... whats going on?
I am so sorry that society failed you! I hope your future will be a happier one!
Hi my name is Carla Hensley and I saw Holly's story on April 17th 2018 and I am pretty outraged about this case. Holly went through her young life horribly. Basically being thrown away like garbage which she isnt. Then she was raped repeatedly by this man which caused her to get pregnant with his baby and was forced to give her baby up and then this man involves her into his world of nothing but sadistic acts upon her and then drags her along which it was his plans of getting more money. And intent to kill for no reason but caused Holly was there she gets prison time for 'WHAT"? She wasinside the stores didn't pull the trigger nor plan any of the crime she was convicted for. Now my thing is was any of the law enforcement prosecutors judge that presided over this case or any of the jurors there to see weather or not she actially was involved in these horrific nurders? No. Law needs changing on cases like these all over the United States and ending of my comment. It's time to free Holly and I hope This Message gets to Holly. when you are free sue the hell out of the States of Georgia and New York City for false imprisonment and not doing their jobs of protecting you from abuse and neglect as a child therefore this would not have happened. "FREE HOLLY" and her foster father done made a statement at the end that Holly had no involvement of any of the charges, murders etc So therefore FREE HER. Thank You!
Please release her!!! She has paid for her crime!!!
she has served her time. my heart hurts for the families of the victim's and also for Holly. When grief subsides all that's left is anger but I believe she deserves forgiveness. Can anyone honestly say they are the same person they were at 17? Especially 20+ years later. prayers for all.
God bless that poor woman, she has been taking advantage off her whole life, she has done wrong and has paid for it, let her out. I would really like to write her. Bridget x from Ireland
She needs to be released
My heart breaks for everyone involved but I think Holly was abandoned by the system and every human she came in contact with. I beg you to consider her freedom. She does not deserve to continue to be failed by the system and humans, especially ones that have been blessed with the kind of love she was never given. Holly should be given the opportunity to find that love and freedom now.
My heart breaks for Holly. She deserves a life of support and healing, not a life behind bars. She was a frightened and abused child when she was forced to participate in the crimes, and is clearly remorseful. I hope that she is released as soon as possible, and is given support in transitioning back into society.
Please free her. She's done enough time in prison along with the emotional trauma throughout childhood.
Please Free Holly
Please do the right thing by a person who was let down her whole life. Anyone could be in her shoes given the life she had. We do not choose our life, our family, and it was our own system who placed her with this man. We have to accept our part in placing a young impressionable abused girl into the care of a deplorable person
free Holly
Holly was 17 at the time of the crime. She did not pull the trigger or mastermind the crime. She did not kill those women. Holly was manipulated and emotionally and sexually abused by a man much older than herself. Holly has served enough time and should be rehabilitated back into society. Please free Holly.
She was just a child that never knew love. She did not shoot the people.
please free holly coomber its only right considering what she has been through
Stop ignoring the fact she was severely abused and neglected and didn't stand a chance. She was there but she didn't kill anyone. She was afraid and powerless. She couldn't do anything or she would have died. You took away any chance of a life for her.
I cannot believe this poor woman is in prison! Do the right thing and grant her clemency, she is a victim of abuse and had no choice in what happened.
Just watched this story, holly would be better off dead, why weren’t the police involved when Holly was pregnant at 8nyears old Free this poor woman, she will need psychiatric help for the rest of her life
Free her. She’s innocent. An abuser can control the abused I know it happened to me. It’s not her fault!
This woman has already been victimized her entire life, why on earth is the legal system victimizing her all over again!!?? And again, and again and again!? FREE HOLLY. She has suffered enough. ENOUGH.
One of the worst cases of injustice I have ever heard of. What an atrocity! The governor of New York state needs to show his humanity on this one and soon. Horrible...
The state of New York should be sued for the negligence of allowing a dependent to be permanently placed without supervision of the court. This negligence resulted in Holly's confirmed sexual abuse by her caregiver. Holly endured years of sexual, physical, and most likely emotional abuse, in addition to the abuse and abandonment she experienced prior by the adoptive family. Why are the effects of her abuse not taken into consideration? How is this not obvious?? Further, HOLLY WAS A MINOR. She was with her "parent" who she has been raped by continuously and violently. She has been subjected to abuse most of her life and unable to count on anyone including the state for help. How is she expected to have stood up to her abuser in this case? Did the judge and jury actually believe the man who adopted a child and raped her for years and legitimately believed at the time that what he was doing was ok? This case is so disturbing and highlights the injustices that are so common amoung abused children.
A person should not be imprisoned for a) an act they did not commit, and b) being the product of abuse. It defies all humanity. Holly should be free to recover and have a life. Let her go.
Speaking as a retired attorney and a rape survivor, this case is one of the worst miscarriages of justice I've seen. Ms. Coomber should be freed immediately. The system completely failed her.
She was not an adult, she was coerced and she made a bad choice. She deserves a second chance to be freed of a crime she didn't even commit.
As the partner of a survivor of childhood rape and incest, Holly’s story broke my heart. As a woman and lesbian it made me physically ill watching her abuser talk about his method of “conversion therapy”. Please free Holly Coomber. She has suffered enough.
Very concerned to read about this and wondering as it is now 2018 what is the latest on holly's situation.
She is a victim too
Please grant clemency for this lady
Please grant clemency to Holly. She is also a victim.
My heart goes out to Holly. I believe she was a victim and I truly hope she receives clemency. It is such a tragedy that she was never given a chance at a good life.
Free Holly!
God bless this woman. All I see is a sweet, unloved little girl when I look at her.
Free Holly!!!
She was an unfortunate child under the direction of her "Father". This is a case for clemency if there ever was.
She was abused from the beginning. Let her go
Feel so sad for her she clearly dosnt deserve that watch all women behind bars episodes and she is the only one you can hand on your heart see she isn't capable of a crime. She deserves happiness
She was unfairly convicted and she was treated in an occult mentality by someone that was supposed to care for her, but chose to abuse her and left her with no self worth. Holly was a young adult with no where to go and her foster father took advantage of her and kept her in that mentality that you have nowhere to go and no one will ever love you this is so it's ok if I abuse you. This is what I consider Occult mentality. I hope she is released SOON!
How can a trafficked minor be held accountable for crimes she didnt commit?!
Holly had enough happen to her before she was 10 years old she should not have to have had endured any of this. Stephanie B I would like info on how to write to holly.
I've only just become aware of Holly's story. And heard what her foster father has confessed to. This evil excuse of a man has ruined the lives of his victims and their families. Why should Holly suffer any longer for something she had no control over?
Free Holly!!
The way Holly had been done is a true injustice, how can anyone look at what she went thru, who controlled her, tortured her, and not see how wrong this is. You could see and feel the true remorse she feels!! HOLLY YOU ARE NOT NOTHING YOU ARE A STRONG, SMART, WOMAN AND YOU WILL OVERCOME!!
I would like to support Holly by writing to her. Does she want mail or can she receive mail?
I’m absolutely outraged that Holly went to prison over this. Horrible call on the Prosecutors part. This should have never happened. I will participate in any way I can to see her released and rehabilitated.
I cannot believe this woman is still in prison!! Her sentence should have at least run concurrently!!! She shouldn’t have spent time in prison at all anyways!!! She was obviously a victim of a type of Stockholm syndrome. The “justice” system in the U.S. is not even about justice anymore, it’s only about winning the case no matter what or who it hurts!
I would like to write a letter to Holly, if at all possible. I just want her to know I know a lot her pain agree suffered. That she's not alone, and whole what she suffered through does not condone what happened, there are people out in the Free world that can empathize, understand and know her pain.
Myself and my family are victims of a murdered parent and years later I lost my daughter to murder, I have pretty much never ever had pity on anyone that murders another but I watched a show about Holly coomber and I understand what happened to her life and I see the hurt. Set her free.
Free Holly she is a victim. She was a hostiage
Its time the abuse on her stops! Let her find her place in this world. Let her go home.
Patty Hearst. Colleen Stan. Jan Broberg. Holly Coomber. (Free her now!)
I send encouragement and solidarity to you Holly. You are clearly a good woman and I admire your strength and your honestly and honour.
Please free Holly, she has expressed remorse and is a victim herself in this matter after all these years I do believe it's time for her to get a second chance at life!!
Holly's story is so heart breaking, she never had a chance! Give her her freedom, If anything the state should prosecute those that turned her over to William Allen as a child!! Absolutely a nightmare!!
Please ❤️
I pray that Holly will be released very soon.
God bless
Tragic in so many ways.
This is the first petition of this nature I have ever signed. My heart goes out to Holly as much as it does the families of W Allens victims. That man is void of emotion like I've never seen. Holly does not belong in prison. Damn sure not for a SECOND life sentence!! Gross miscarriage of Justice.
Holly I cried while watching the horrible way you were treated as a child. I did not know that you were sentenced to life. I hope the comment made by another supporter is inaccurate. Bedford Correction's web site shows that you were released. Can someone clear this up for me. I care about you Holly. Your life matters
I hope you get the chance I feel you deserve Holly and never give up. That monster can’t hurt you now.
Holly Coomber was a victim and should be released.
Should anyone in their right mind keep this abused woman in prison??? She deserves clemency and an apology from the state and the system that failed her!!!
Holly is innocent. She needs to be released and hopefully reunited with her daughter one of these days. Free Holly.
This woman needs helps which she has been deprived Of her whole life
This woman was never given a chance at a 'normal' or 'fair' life. She was abandoned and abused from day one. She needs counseling and support, not more punishment.
The incarceration of Holly is in itself a crime.
What a travesty of mis-justice, how can this woman still be in prison.
This woman has never been treated with kindness. The government failed her as a child and they are now punishing her as an adult. She deserves a chance to be happy for once in her life. Please allow clemency, please!
Please be kinder to Holly than anyone has ever been.
She's a victim too
Its sad that ive only found out about this 9 years after this was posted but Its never too late to get a wrong righted
This is disgusting how this woman is in jail. She was under control by a sick.man- her FOSTER FATHER. THIS MAKES ME SICK. She was a child for God's sakes.
Prayers for her release and comfort in her heart, she done nothing wrong!..
Grant her freedom
Holly has served her time. Let her have a life now. She was a victim too
Free Holly Justice for Holly too
I just saw Holly’s story on Women Behind Bars and I was so moved (and utterly disgusted because of that sick freak adopted father of hers) by her sad sad story. You can see the sadness and remorse for the victims in Holly’s eyes, I believe her with every ounce of my being and she should be free NOW
Campaign for Clemency-She needs to live a life now, she was failed all her life, let her live.-free Holly
I just saw her story on this show called woman behind bars and wow she really does not deserve what she got at all! She was basically that guys hostage for alot of her life and then now she is in prison! Wow poor girl!
I just watched her story on women behind bars. I can’t understand how anyone could think she deserves what she got. Abused and manipulated from such a young age by her sick adoptive father, I feel for her. I feel for the families who lost loved ones but they need to try to understand why and how this happened.
Holly was a victim of the state who placed her in William Allen’s Care without doing due diligence to discover he was a filthy paedophilic and criminal and no follow up care on young Holly. The state should be ashamed of how they have treated this victim of abused caused by its own neglect. She was abused and under Allen’s coercive control, living in fear of him. Shame on the USA’s state department, family services and so called justice. The measure of a nation is how it treats its weakest members, you give yours to sadistic paedophiles then punish them for the sins of their so called carer. Nice society indeed...
Her time is unjust considering she was a sexually abused minor at the time of the offense.
Holly I’m so sorry for the cards life has dealt you from day one. Life isn’t fair. It wasn’t fair for the victims to lose their lives. So terribly unfair. Although you are alive, you too were a victim of a different kind. I don’t know you but I truly feel that you are sorry for the terrible events that took place while you were abandoned by all and in the grip of that monster. I understand that you are a good writer. I’m sure you can use your writing skills to express yourself, pay tribute to the lives lost, and make your mark in the world. It’s time for Holly Coomber to have a life out of prison. Please give Holly Coomber clemency. Please.
She has done enough for the life she got dealt. I'm with you, you should be freed!
She has my full support
She would never have done those things if not for her stepfather.
The State it New York failed Holly. It’s your chance to right a wrong.
Set Holly free! Use the taxpayers dollars being used to keep her incarcerated, to support her rehabilitation and education, instead. Give this lady a chance for a productive life, a loving relationship, supportive family and friends!!!
Holly has served her time and deserves freedom. She has paid, she has suffered, she has earned it. I support Holly.
My Heart goes out to the victims and their families. Holly was a victim too. Clemency!
I really believe she got Traumatized over and over by the people who were to protector her. I believe she's done her time and it's time for her to have a real healthy life. Please consider letting her be released On parole Give her a chance
I watched Holly's story recently and my heart goes out to her. The families affected by this senseless tragedy are in my prayers. Your foster father is the devil and I am so sorry you ever fell into his clutches. The system has failed yet again. You never stood a change and tears are falling down my face for you.
She has been a prisoner her whole life. Let her be FREE.
I believe she is sorry and was abused and brainwashed. We all need love. Holly needed love at a young age but did not get it. I hope she knows The Lord Jesus Christ loves her. I hope she has been repentant to HIM and all she has hurt.
It is PAST time to set this poor woman FREE
This woman was a abused child and I feel her conviction was unfair!!!
Holly, I hope you are released. I have never met you, though I am also a survivor of childhood sexual abuse, I am also gay. I don't think you should have gotten as much time as you have, and I really hope you are doing well. I'm sorry for everything that happened to you.
God bless you Holly Coomber,I've never heard of such injustice in my life,free this woman to allow her to live at long last in peace and happiness.xx uk

A total misscarage of justice to keep holly in prison
A total misscarage of justice to keep holly in prison
Surely enough time has been served by this woman who since childhood has been abused and manipulated by supposed responsible adults. Is this truly the aim of the Justice system? What sentence shall be passed on society and the justice system that failed her I wonder.

Holly was a young teenage girl just a child who was under the control a faux parent who had compete power and control over her - this is so disgusting and sad that this man was able to do this to her life. Completely ruined it, came in and stOle her childhood and changed her life before she even came an adult - she's suffered way too long for the crimes of this man who dragged his daughter around like a sexual toy.. she had no one to save her, the state let him get custody, gave her to a predator and this is what he did while he had control of her... I just can't get over the fact that holly got life. Please see the injustice in this and free her give her a chance at life as an adult in the free world, which she never experienced so how sad.

This woman has suffered so much injustice. Give her the rest of her life to find the love she so deserves.

I had the privilege of seeing Holly's story on Women Behind Bars this past weekend. I sat here and cried for this poor woman. I have never experienced what she had endured. I praise God for that. Holly is definitely being held under false pretenses and it is time she be released to maybe find some joy and happiness as a free woman. I truly pray that someone will listen and free her.
PLEASE CORRECT A TERRIBLE INJUSTICE AND FREE HOLLY.
PLEASE CORRECT A TERRIBLE INJUSTICE AND FREE HOLLY.
A truly heartbreaking story. This child was a victim.
A truly heartbreaking story. This child was a victim.
Holly Climber is guilty of nothing e cost being a victim of abuse! She has been unloved, tormented by guilt of things she had no control over. When you are sexually molested for the first time, you lose yourself! You have no idea who to trust or believe. That this poor woman is incarcerated is ridiculous!! Shame, shame, shame on the judicial system!!!
