Dr. Phil - Season 11 - Eps 32: Tense Reunions
It's a case that has made national headlines and garnered celebrity support: In 1995, then-17-year-old human trafficking victim Sara Kruzan was sentenced to life in prison without parole for murdering her alleged pimp. Many who believed the teen was the real victim and deserved a lesser sentence launched the "Free Sara" campaign, pleading for the case to be revisited. With clemency eventually granted, Sara, now 34, will be eligible for parole after she serves 25 years. How did this one-time honor roll student get lured in? Sara's aunt, Anne, blames her niece's mom, Nicole. Did Nicole turn a blind eye to her daughter's troubles, leaving her vulnerable to predators? Anne and Nicole come face to face on Dr. Phil's stage for the first time in 15 years. Then, Academy Award-winning actress Mira Sorvino, who plays the wife of a human trafficking investigator in her new movie, Trade of Innocents, weighs in on the case. Plus, hear about new legislation that may help teens like Sara receive more compassionate sentences. Then, Kim says her 17-year-old son, Brayton, steals, runs away and has even called in a fake bomb threat at school. Kim blames Brayton's absentee father, Doug, for their son's behavior. Doug, who has never met Brayton, has been paying child support for years, but still questions if he's really the teen's father. See what happens when he comes face to face with Brayton for the first time on Dr. Phil's stage. And, don't miss the results of their paternity test. Is Doug Brayton's father?
