Louisiana’s outgoing Democratic governor pardoned 40 convicted murderers since October including one of whom had been on death row and another who fatally stabbed a woman 39 times.
Gov. John Bel Edwards has been on a mission to help Louisiana lose the title of being the World’s Prison Capital and has signed the pardons to release 56 total convicts in five separate batches.
Edwards, whose term ends on Jan 8. 2024, campaigned to reduce the state’s prison population and is attempting to see some results in his final weeks in office.
The Pelican State governor began signing his pardons on Oct. 11 with his latest coming on Dec. 19, while future orders could be announced after the holidays, according to KTSB.

Psychotic.
Continuing with the Democrats objective of destroying America. When you realize that fact, everything they do makes perfect sense.
Dems and murder go together like soup and sammiches.
“Psychotic”
Pathologically Democrat
“Nicholson, 60, was arrested after police found him in his car with blood on his clothes and a cash register sitting next to him.”
Was he 60 THEN or 60 NOW? If 60 now, he should remain behind bars. He could still commit a horrific crime. If they’re releasing people that are in their 80’s or 90’s it would almost be forgivable. Almost.
Now they can be the World's Murder Capital. Typical idiot Dem, perception above reality.
The pattern I’ve noticed is that states seem to be releasing violent criminals when they reach an age where they have chronic medical issues. If the dude is 60 and needs a kidney transplant, the state is obligated to pay for it if he’s incarcerated. These governors figure it’s better to dump him on his family and let them deal with it.
I’m not one to wish people ill, but in bel Edwards’ case, may his sins be visited upon him.
if surviving family members had any balls, I’m just saying, these guys wouldn’t be around very long on the outside.
Yes but the former Governor drew the line at 40 stabs.
But that’s also foolishness. We should have a policy for any criminal in jail for LIFE that they will only receive comfort care. No action should be taken to extend that life. They are there to die!
How many of them were white?
Couldn’t find any pictures of Nick Charles Nicholson, so I suppose we can’t play the game of “Guess that race”.
gator hunters use rotten chicken for bait.....
I’m not saying it’s smart or right. I’m just pointing out that this seems to be a major factor in these parole decisions. Courts generally would not allow what you’ve suggested … which is a whole different issue to address.
DITTO
And that is why you CANNOT associate with anyone who still supports that treasonous bunch of mendacious reprobates each and everyone. Dims are for criminals and communists losers.
If a personal crime is committed against a prominent democrat, should it even be a crime?
I don’t usually wish great harm to someone I don’t know but this outgoing governor needs a big dose of karma - 39 times.
