Fulks and Basham, murderers of Samantha Burns and Alice Donavan in 2002, have received clemancy from their death penalty, today.
The families were notified via confference call with the DOJ ahead of public notice. Additionally, nearly 40 others on Federal death row have also recèived clemancy.
This is a betrayal of the victims, their friends and families, but also America, because we all paid out of pocket for the apprehensions and trials of these animals.
Their clemancies betray the judicial system and juries involved. The Judges don't make the death penalty decions on the Federal level; a jury of peers of the accused, does.
Most death penalty convictions also include multiple murders as well as other crimes. In the case of Fulks and Basham, they attempted murder on police officers, stole money, guns and shot at others. They are required around 65 years fot their multitudes of other crimes which are not listed in their entirety,but also includes breaking out of jail, and a seco d attempt to break out of another jail.
As John Burns said, "They've been playing games with us since 2002, and now they've won; and we still have no remains."
It's a sad day for America.
So are they commuted to life sentences or were they released?
The staff of the congenital idiot that calls himself the “president’ after a stolen election of 2020 are doing this; totally flies in the face of the victims and their families. I will be so glad to see this godawful man and the scumbos who work for him out of our White House.
Now you know what civilization collapse looks like when viewed up close.
Yes, we are living through it in real time.
They say Caligula was a mad emperor. Mad as in insane. How did that mighty empire make out?
I took some time to read about this case and their appeals. The appeals were based on the usual technicalities and sympathy arguments because one of them had had a hard life. These two should have been dispatched, oh, about twenty years ago.
The result of Obama’s first, second and third terms of office. Defund the police, easy on crime Soros judges, state attorneys general, Marxist sociology departments of major universities, and the social media echo chambers encouraging you to go against your values in order to be on the cutting edge of avant-garde social (hopey, changey) change. Was it worth it to be ‘cool’ America? Thank the Lord that Musk and Trump (and Bibi, too) destroyed the Obama legacy and have exposed it for what it was all along - and for the lying, arrogant, power hungry Marxist he is. Unfortunately, we have yet to pay the full consequences of our lack of rationality and discernment in giving that evil regime any legitimacy what so ever. I guess the coming months and years will tell. May God still have mercy upon us but we have given him the middle finger over and over again.
I cannot wait to see the POS in the ground.
Fk him straight to hell for what he did to us.
Biden is the most perverse leader of a major nation since Caligula
BS. Take it to SCOTUS; Bidet doesnt have the mental capacity to make any decisions.
Let’s let bygones be bygones...
Commuted to life sentences...which they already hadfor their other crimes during the comission of the kidnappings, murders and rrape.
I believe the 2020 election was stolen and our so called military should have stepped in immediately...so much damage is done.
It’s been before scotus during the appeals process. The libral judge (!) Actually rejected it as did the jury.
As for the one with the hard life...Alice had a harder one, but her death sentence doesn’t get commuted.
If the two of them had been executed twenty years ago, this would not be a concern.
“..Biden is the most perverse leader of a major nation since Caligula...”
Not just FJB, but that whole administration, is actually beyond Caligula.
And that’s quite the statement, right there...
I agree with that, though the Romans could be a pretty perverse and debauched lot.
At least the Romans were patriots for their empire
I recently came across a meme that PERFECTLY fits this sorry excuse for a human being, but I, to this very day, do not have an image hosting site to post it. It REALLY fits him.
Clemency, not clemancy, unless you are referring to Nancy Pelosi. Are you??
