Nunn, whose sentence was commuted after 11 years, went on to earn college and law school degrees, ultimately becoming a lawyer following a pardon by President Obama last year. Osprey Productions' Berman and Chris King will executive produce alongside Get Lifted Film Co. principals John Legend, Mike Jackson and Thais Stiklorius for Sony Pictures Television. Nunn and Sam Sheldon, who filed a petition for a presidential commutation on her behalf, are executive consultants. (Deadline.com)
