This isn’t amusing.
Anyone saying how great this was had best understand that many of these felons received these sentences under plea bargains.
One of them was right here - he was convicted of possessing over 50 grams of crack & over 50 grams of base. Actually the amount was over 10 ounces and was received in partial payment for drive by shootings in fort pierce florida.
Great job!
Don’t keep a brotha down! Here in Connecticut, we recently released 3K convicted felons to save $$$.
As you say, many had pleased down their time....many with illegal weapon possessions....and where are they now? Back on the streets....making up for lost time.
**Obama said those whose sentences he commuted have served at least 15 years in prison, many under mandatory minimums that required judges to impose the long sentences even if they didn’t think it fit the crime.”
Do we ever pass any laws that don’t need to be *re-written*. It seems as if the congresscritters can’t get anything right. I don’t recall this happening so frequently in the past.
