"Gypsy Blanchard to be Paroled, Release Date Set for Later this Year"
Gypsy Blanchard, who pleaded guilty to her role in the murder of her mother, has been granted parole and is set to be released in December. The case gained national attention and inspired documentaries and a mini-series. Gypsy's attorneys argued that her mother had abused and imprisoned her as part of an elaborate fraud scheme. Gypsy arranged for her online boyfriend to kill her mother, and they were later arrested. Gypsy was sentenced to 10 years in prison but will be released after serving 85% of her sentence.
