Gypsy Rose Blanchard, who plotted the murder of her abusive mother, to be released from prison

 Gypsy Rose Blanchard, the Missouri woman who pleaded guilty in 2015 to plotting to murder her abusive mother, is scheduled to be released from prison on Thursday.

Blanchard, now 32, was sentenced to 10 years in prison for second-degree murder in 2016 when she was 24, but under Missouri law, she was released after serving 85% of her sentence. Became eligible for parole.

"Eight and a half years ago, I took on the most difficult case of my career. In doing so, I helped reunite a family who endured horrific circumstances," his attorney Mike Stanfield said in a LinkedIn post last week. " With Blanchard; his father, Rod Blanchard; and her stepmother, Christy Blanchard, to see "them" start their new lives.

Blanchard's case has been the subject of numerous documentaries and feature films, including HBO's "Mommy Dead and Dearest," Investigation Discovery's "Gypsy's Revenge," Hulu's "The Act," and more. Penguin Random House is also set to release an e-book by Blanchard and co-authors Melissa Moore and Michele Matriciani, titled "Release: Conversations on the Eve of Freedom."

The memoir is described on the Penguin Random House website as a "special collection of interview transcripts and journal entries, as well as [Blanchard's] own paintings and photographs."

Experts believe that Blanchard's mother, Claudine "Dee Dee" Blanchard, had Munchausen syndrome by proxy, a psychological illness in which a person – in this case, Dee Dee – attacks another in an effort to attract attention or obtain material goods. The person pretends to be a gypsy. Out of sympathy for the victim.

Dee Dee convinces Gypsy that she has several illnesses, including leukemia, and that she is several years younger than her real age.

Dee Dee also forced her daughter to sit in a wheelchair, gave her medications she did not need, cut her hair, pulled her teeth, and fed her through a tube in her stomach.

Dee Dee and Gypsy received a lot of positive attention and support from their Missouri community. According to BuzzFeed, they lived in a house built by Habitat for Humanity after Hurricane Katrina destroyed their home, they took charity trips to Disney World, and Make-A-Wish sent them backstage at a Miranda Lambert concert. .

Blanchard and her online boyfriend, Nicholas Paul Godejohn, were arrested in connection with the fatal stabbing of Dee Dee in 2015. The next year, Blanchard was sentenced to a decade behind bars, while Godejohn was sentenced to life in prison.

Greene County prosecuting attorney Dan Patterson said at the time that "Although the evidence in this case clearly established that Gypsy Blanchard was guilty of murder and that the killing was neither justified nor excusable, the amended charges and 10 A year's punishment justifies the gypsy." Blanchard has been held accountable to the law, while also taking into account the highly mitigating circumstances of nearly two decades of systematic and purposeful abuse of Gypsy Blanchard by her mother in order to facilitate her mother's fraudulent schemes "

Blanchard recently told TMZ that she and her husband Ryan Scott Anderson, whom she reportedly married while in prison last year, bought tickets to a Kansas City Chiefs game after his release and said she wanted Taylor Hoping to meet Swift, who is dating Travis Kelce.
