“They” would still hate him even if he did. Which he won’t since she hasn’t been convicted. Yet.

“”Doesn’t the request for a pardon imply guilt?””

***

I think the question should be.... “Doesn’t a pardon require a guilty verdict” before a pardon can be handed down. And yes, I believe so.

Not that he should, but how could Trump pardon her? Since when is she accused of a federal crime?

I never followed Nancy Grace but happened to see her on recent segments on the Clancy murder case.

I was really appreciative of her ruthlessly scathing verbal attacks on the sleazy defense attorney Reddington.

He deserved every moment of it.

Clancy‘s lawyer is not stupid. He’s got to know that the president cannot pardon a state crime. So what’s his play here?

Perhaps he’s trying to goad Trump into saying something outrageous, something that will “taint the jury pool”.

lawyer should be disbarred for ignorance of the law.

Presidents can’t pardon people charged with state crimes.

The intent of the slimy sob is to turn women further against Trump.

Speaking of throwing people out of higher windows.

This whole thing is crazy. Should be the death penalty.

Strangled her children with gym bands.

He’s trying to drag President Trump to condemn the murderer in an effort to stir up her soulless supporters.

Doesn’t the request for a pardon imply guilt?
————-

The fact that she killed the children has been stipulated. That point was NEVER in question in this case.

The question was the mental state of the woman when she did it.

I did not pay attention to this thing until people started talking about the charges. In MA “pre meditation” is a bit different than people are used to seeing on TV Dramas. It has to do with the knowledge that your action could result in death. For example, if you pick up a gun there is a reasonable expectation that you could kill the other person with that gun. That is premeditation in MA. There is no “time factor”—meaning planning or talking about it.

MA has some funky nuances to its murder laws. Some of them are surprisingly “harsh.”

I also think you have to be crazy to strangle your little kids.

This case should never have gone to a jury. They should have plead it out and stuck her in a mental hospital for a long, long time.

I used to think this guy was a good Defense Lawyer. With this request for a Pardon, I have changed my mind. His client murdered 3 children and he wants a Pardon? Give me a break!

Say what you will, but, if you’re on trial for your life, you want an utterly shameless sleazebag like Reddington on your side.

Not a Federal crime. No Presidential pardon is available. A lawyer should know that. He’s being dramatic.
