California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Friday commuted 21 prison sentences and pardoned five people who had already served their time behind bars, citing the coronavirus pandemic as a factor in his decision.

Fourteen of the commuted cases involved murder or related charges

Among those who had sentences commuted were Suzanne Johnson, 75, of San Diego County, who had served 22 years for assaulting a child who died; 64-year-old Joann Parks of Los Angeles County who served 27 years for the deaths of her three young children who were killed in a house fire, which Parks denies setting; and Rodney McNeal, 50, of San Bernardino County, who served 22 years for fatally stabbing his pregnant wife, a crime he also denies.

Two of the pardons were intended to help lawful immigrants who face the possibility of being deported based on crimes they committed years ago. Waters said that would be “an unjust collateral consequence that would harm their families and communities.”

It’s like he watched someone play baseball, so he’s going to
play ice hockey and call it baseball.

Totally different rules/guidelines governor.

Just think of the family of the murdered people.

He moved a bunch of old people out of prison, where they could have been isolated from the virus, onto death row by putting them on the streets where they can get infected.

The pardoners and judges should be held legally liable and that for the first several years live in their own houses, and they have to live with them, they can’t go to another space.

Understand that any talk of prison reform is code word for flooding the streets with dangerous people who will destroy more neighborhoods and lives.

REJECT PRISON REFORM.

There is a move afoot to release people from prison who cause real ROT in society. I imagine tax cheats will still be locked up.

Good point...

Did anyone that was ‘swept up’ in the PDJT WITCH HUNT get released for ‘humanitarian reasons?

Exactly!!!!!

Got to clear up jail space for the real scofflaws that don’t bow down and follow every single idiotic Schiffy ‘law’.

REMEMBER, Ayn Rand hit it on the head back in the middle of the last century....

Enact enough draconian idiotic laws and you can make EVERYONE a criminal....

Yeah, someone should have told that to Carroll Rosenbloom.

So, they let criminals out of jail and turn the screws against normal citizens, monitoring their every action and arresting them if they go to work.
