The lengths Democrats will go to free bloodthirsty criminals are beyond belief. And now, a Gavin Newsom-appointed board in Democrat-run California has okayed the parole board granting clemency to those sentenced to life without parole (LWOP).
Back in July, the California Board of Parole Hearings (BPH) took it upon themselves to create a new set of bureaucratic rules that give them the authority to review and approve the release of prisoners sentenced to LWOP. We're talking about serial killers and murderers like Scott Peterson getting released after being sentenced to LWOP.
The Parole Board suddenly decided it had the power to unilaterally override a judicial sentence, and on July 9, California’s Office of Administrative Law (OAL) approved this authority. OAL Director Kenneth J. Pogue was appointed in 2019 by California’s Democrat governor, Gavin Newsom.
If that’s not bad enough, it looks as though California Democrats are so eager to release violent criminals into the public that they made this change even though it might not be legal.
“The main primary arguments deal with the fact that, one, they don’t have the legal authority to do this, that this is an administrative bureaucratic agency that’s trying to rewrite the legislature, that they’re trying to rewrite sentencing laws that came out of ballot initiatives,” Anne Marie Schubert, president and CEO of the Criminal Justice Legal Foundation (CLJF) told Fox News.
Schubert is a former district attorney. She added that this move by the parole board could release cop and baby killers.
“We had a family at our press conference of a 6-week-old that was tortured to death by her father over a weeklong period of time, all of which, what I understand, was on video — and so you talk about baby killers,” she explained.

During that COVID fiasco here in WA, our gov’nor release eleven hundred hardened criminal into society because, COVID in prison.
Ed Kemper out just in time for UC Santa Cruz home coming
Anti-death penalty folks argue that life without parole is enough. This proves why they are liars.
“”this is an administrative bureaucratic agency that’s trying to rewrite the legislature”” - Did she really say that -without correcting herself...
She’s president and CEO of the Criminal Justice Legal Foundation? They should look around for someone better at speaking than this..
I’m sure there are a lot of Californians who would LOVE to REWRITE THE LEGISLATURE....
Checking her out, she has plenty of experience so she can get a pass...prosecuted the Golden State Killer with the DNA that turned up years later...cold cases etc...
“Anti-death penalty folks argue that life without parole is enough. This proves why they are liars.”
Excellent point!
And we thought that evicting God from our culture, would be painless...
Quite so. There’s only one way to protect society from a murder and LWOP ain’t it.
“Democrats made this change even though it might not be legal.”
Dude, that doesn’t even slow them down.

I’ve never heard of the guy and we lived in CA at the time. Wonder why this wasn’t in the news as much as the “Golden State Killer” or “Hillside Strangler” or “Night Stalker”....It appears he’s still alive and in prison in Vacaville....80+ years old....
Should be quick death penalty. Overruled in CA.
Okay, life without parole.
That’s a little harsh so let them go to find new victims on the outside.
With an apology.
So cruel to make them wait like the Manson woman finally released. /s
Leslie Van Houten, who participated in the 1969 murders of Leno and Rosemary LaBianca, was paroled on July 11, 2023, after serving more than 53 years in prison.
By the way, the murdered people are still dead.
I never thought that.
I know you didn’t mean you did, either.
From Brave AI:
Recent legal developments have further reshaped the law's application:
Retroactive Gang Enhancements: In September 2025, the California Supreme Court ruled that Assembly Bill 333 (a 2021 law raising the evidence standard for gang crimes) applies retroactively, allowing thousands of inmates to petition courts to vacate prior gang-related convictions that counted as strikes.
Reinstatement of Sentence Reductions: In October 2025, the state Supreme Court reinstated parts of Senate Bill 483 (SB483), a 2021 law that eased the standard for reducing sentences for third-strike prisoners, overriding a 2023 appeals court ruling that had invalidated it.
Clarification of "Strikes": In December 2025, the Supreme Court clarified that offenses arising from a single set of facts or a single act count as only one strike, preventing double-counting for multiple convictions from the same incident.
IOW the legal tyrants watered it down step by step, which is why it was enacted in the first place.
There is a Netflix docu-drama called Mindhunter. It is how two FBI agents put structure into criminal profiling as bona fide investigative tool.
Kemper was very helpful to their research into a serial killer’s mind and is portrayed in the film. He is deceptively “normal”.
Americans to pass a bill making it legal to transfer any sentence given to a criminal over to the politician who cancels the criminal’s Dew Process and allows the victim’s family to carry the sentence out on the criminal’s “dew processor”. Basically the way the Muzzies handle punishment back in Allah Land.
THAT is interesting AND scary. I just finished reading “I’ll Be Gone Before Dark” about the Golden State Killer - Joseph deAngelo. The writer died before he was caught and her husband, actor Patton Oswalt - finished the book for her...
Oddly it began with a murder in Irvine, CA in 1981 and we moved to Irvine that year..That wasn’t his first murder. He murdered from N. California - the east bay area - Sacramento, Goleta and all the way down the state to Dana Point in OC...I don’t think anything was ever written about HOW he managed all that travel...He was also a cop in Auburn, CA at one time. My stepchildren lived in Auburn then and now.
We used to live in N. California and so much of the territory he rampaged in, was what we were familiar with - relatives in Citrus Heights, Sacramento etc...Don’t think he would have caused us trouble as we had Dobermans in the house or outside in the yard and also weapons. HOW did people not hear him in their houses? Mind boggling...The Dobies took “care” of cats that came into the backyard so I’m sure they could have taken care of anything else before they ever made it inside...
Progressives: we can’t have capital pumishment; life without parole is sufficient.
Progressives later: let’s parole the life-without-parole prisoners.
Does no one remember Willie Horton?!
I agree with “Clarification of “Strikes””,
not the others..
