Crystal Mason, a mother of three, was sentenced to spend five years in prison for casting a ballot in 2016 while she was a convicted felon on probation, but now a Texas appeals court has formally acquitted her after it determined the evidence to convict her of illegally voting simply did not muster up.

“I am overjoyed to see my faith rewarded today,” Mason said, according to a statement released Thursday through her attorneys at the American Civil Liberties Union. “I was thrown into this fight for voting rights and will keep swinging to ensure no one else has to face what I’ve endured for over six years, a political ploy where minority voting rights are under attack. I’ve cried and prayed every night for over six years straight that I would remain a free Black woman.”
