A convicted crack dealer who left prison early as part of the Obama administrations mass release of federal inmates has been indicted by a grand jury for fatally stabbing his ex-girlfriend and her two kids in Columbus, Ohio. The gory crime drew national attention because the children, ages 7 and 10, were murdered to eliminate them as witnesses in the brutal massacre of their 32-year-old mother.
This week a grand jury in Franklin County returned a 10-count, death-penalty indictment against the ex-con, 35-year-old Wendell Callahan, for the triple murders. Callahan broke into his ex-girlfriends apartment and stabbed the three victims, according to a statement issued by Franklin County Prosecutor Ron OBrien announcing the indictment. The bloody crime scene was discovered by the womans current boyfriend, who subsequently engaged in a fight with Callahan before he fled. The indictment includes charges of aggravated murder with prior calculation and design and aggravated murder of victims under the age of 13. There are multiple charges regarding the three victim deaths because there are different methods to commit the crime of murder and the Prosecutors Office typically charges all methods, OBrien stated. Callahan is in jail on $3 million bail and is scheduled to be arraigned later this week.
Callahan should have been in jail when the crimes occurred, but he was released four years early because federal sentencing guidelines for crack dealers got reduced. The change is part of President Obamas effort to reform the nations justice system as a way of ending racial discrimination. The initiative was technically launched back in 2010 when the president signed a measure that for the first time in decades relaxed drug-crime sentences he claimed discriminated against poor and minority offenders. This severely weakened a decades-old law enacted during the infamous crack cocaine epidemic that ravaged urban communities nationwide in the 1980s. As part of the movement the U.S. Sentencing Commission lowered maximum sentences for drug offenders and made it retroactive, leading to the early release of thousands of violent thugs like Callahan.
In November the administration began releasing 6,000 drug convicts coined non-violent offenders whose sentences were too long under the old guidelines. News reports quickly surfaced contradicting the administrations assessment that the newly released convicts were not violent. Among them was the leader of a multi-million dollar operation that smuggled drugs from Canada to Maine. Prosecutors refer to the 29-year-old con as a drug kingpin who was one of Americas Most Wanted. Shortly before the administrations mass release of drug convicts, federal prosecutors warned that drug trafficking is inherently violent and therefore the phrase non-violent drug offenders is a misnomer. The nations prosecutors also cautioned that reducing prison sentences for drug offenders will weaken their ability to bring dangerous drug traffickers to justice.
As if it werent bad enough that the administration is rewarding thousands of criminals with get-out-of-jail cards, huge amounts of taxpayer dollars are being spent on programs to help them find housing and jobs. In the aftermath of the mass release of federal prisoners Judicial Watch reported on two re-entry programs to ease the transition from jail. One received $1.7 million and ordered public housing facilities not to reject tenants with criminal records. The other allocated $20 million to the Department of Labor (DOL) to help ex-cons find work and thus end the cycle of poverty, criminality and incarceration.
STOP BEING SO CAREFUL AROUND THESE ANIMALS ... STEP UP YOUR CLUTZ !
I’m sure he is still alright in 0bama’s eyes.
BLM no matter who does the killing right?
Yep, I wonder how many of his people “The Won” sent to this murdered family’s funeral.

Did you check out uncle bernie’s plan to “reduce undue incarceration” for minor criminals? It’d almost be like a tidal wave of trespassers. Sorry if that’s micro-aggressive. or anything. :>)
How sad. How many millions have to suffer because the man-child did not learn about reality when he was in his thirties? He believes in his heart all of the idiotic tropes from the left about crime, foreign policy, and how the evil US needs to be brought low, and the world is a much worse place because he has power.
Cliche but true - One of Obama's boys.
I still think hanging is the best way.
Do you think Obama will let him out again?
Do you think Obama will let him out again?
Perhaps we can get odumbo charged with “accessory” to commit murder. Perhaps that will get him where he belongs. Alas, no one will address that problem.
If obama had a son....
How would the sob-sister Dop-e-crats deal with it if the people this creep had stabbed to death were Moochie, Sasquatch and Malaria?
The DiC and his Beard are sooooo very compassionate....don’t ya know?
BTTT
Traitorobama is an accomplice to murder and still Traitorcongress does................................................................................ nothing.
Maybe Holder’s nephew in this story will get eradicated someday.
Ohio has done 53 executions since the DP return. Texas has sent 534 home to Beelzebub, avenging about 3% of the murder victims in the last four decades.
Texas has 4.4 killings per hundred thousand ( including righteous ones).
Ohio has 4 per hundred thousand but they are a bit more Caucasian than Texas.
