A Dallas drug dealer is one of 58 federal convicts whose sentences have been reduced recently by the Obama administration.
Wayland Wilson was sentenced to 37 years in prison for a conspiracy drug charge in 1993, including possession and intent to distribute cocaine, crack cocaine and marijuana, according to an appeal. Despite the offense being Wilson’s first, the judge had no choice in the sentencing because of federal guidelines at the time, KTVT-TV (Channel 11) reports. After Thursday’s decision, he is now set to be released Sept. 2.
“I knew his case would be reviewed, but I didn’t think this quickly. But Thursday, I got a call from the Pardon Office in Washington, D.C., telling me President Obama had commuted his sentence,” Wilson’s attorney Brittany Byrd told the station. “It was the most incredible feeling. I was so overjoyed for him and the thought of him being reunited with his mom and children, after spending two decades in prison for a nonviolent drug offense.”

It was bad enough when the nation’s president was merely lawless.
Now he’s anti-law and getting worse all the time.
Can there be ANY question that Obama HATES this nation, hates her citizens, and actively punishes this nation and citizens? ANY? Just earlier we read that some AA promoted felon (credit card fraud), is placed in charge of purchasing at the VA in Puerto Rico? In the very same hospital where another armed robbery felon is working who can’t be fired because the HR head is a convicted sex offender?
OBAMA HATES AMERICA!!!
nonviolent offenders freed by Obammy.. nothing new for him.. how many peaceful Muzzies has he released, only to see them back in the mix ?
Notes from his “appeal”: Sounds like a character that should be back on the streets. http://law.justia.com/cases/federal/appellate-courts/F3/67/1154/584267/
I guess this guy looks like a guy who would sell crack to a guy who looks like his son, if he had one,
It will be an interesting read when the list of presidential pardons comes out. It’ll be a who’s who of the worst of the worst. Look for one Hillary Clinton to be on that list.
Well, he did do almost a quarter century of prison time for a first-time offense. It’s not like he hasn’t paid for his crime. Some killers get away with far less in prison time.
I approve of this move.
Anything that puts a nonviolent citizen in jail at all - forget about for decades - is a political crime.
Watch as out of the other side of their mouths, the people who have a problem with this complain of feral fatherless black youths, completely ignorant of their own role in making such youths happen.
It’s not so much that Ø has such contempt for the law that he releases such felons, but that all of his homies will construe this to mean that what they do is not only excused, but endorsed.
I agree, but I’d want to see the rest of this dude’s rap sheet before he goes free like a bird.
You don’t think that any violence has resulted from this felon’s business? Seriously?
Bath House is doing all he can to cement the felon vote.
Story says he was a first time offender, so that’s the whole rap sheet - unless additional crimes happened in prison, which it doesn’t sound is the case, and which would likely be forgivable given the third-world-level prisons that this country operates.
Sometimes, the “non-violent” felons are anything but. Al Capone was put away for non-violent crimes.
> You don’t think that any violence has resulted from this felon’s business? Seriously?
I don’t see violence here. Be specific - what violence are you accusing this man of?
Don't insult me. I've been a street police officer. The crack industry is saturated with the most vicious violence imaginable, not to mention the tangential destroyed lives.
