JUST IN: On Final Day in Office, North Carolina’s Democrat Governor Commutes Death Sentences For 15 Inmates Convicted of First-Degree Murder
Gateway Pundit ^ | December 31, 2024 | Cristina Laila

North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper (D) commuted death sentences for 15 inmates on his last day in office.

On Tuesday Cooper announced that he has commuted the sentences of 15 people on death row in North Carolina to life without the possibility of parole after a thorough review of detailed petitions for clemency.

“These reviews are among the most difficult decisions a Governor can make and the death penalty is the most severe sentence that the state can impose,” said Governor Cooper. “After thorough review, reflection, and prayer, I concluded that the death sentence imposed on these 15 people should be commuted, while ensuring they will spend the rest of their lives in prison.”

This is nothing but an “eff-you” to the people of North Carolina for voting for Trump. Just like Cooper’s role model Biden did at the federal level.

Did he speak with the victim’s family first?

Some of those commuted are going to go after the families of the victims, because they are still angry about it.

Are the Demi’s not wanting to ever win another election. I know they are on life support, but this is a dumb decision to follow old joe. Showing people they are so self centered and petty, that they are offering middle finger as they are outed from office.

And yes, very crappy to do over holidays to the families. Guess they double handed the mid-finger.

“What a total idiot Cooper is. He just ruined New Years for the victims families.”
These people detest all Americans who voted for Trump and they are throwing sh%t in the faces of over 55% of it’s citizens.
Soon they’ll be letting all of the sociopaths out of prisons here just like they let sociopaths from prisons all over the world come in here.
They hate America and patriotic Americans.
We are garbage.
Trump is Hitler.

Commuted does not mean they are set free. They will spend life in prison now at taxpayer expense.

Knowing the Democrats, this will be the first step to parole.

Someday, one of the family members of the victims is going to be pushed too far and that will be a bad bad day for the person who pardoned these killers.

Republicans should use these pardons and commutations in advertisements against Democrats. They expose the Democrat’s weakness of being soft on crime.

Who did he pray to? And his act was a way to say fy to the people. I could comment further but I will close with this observation: It is not a pleasant watching a great Nation commit suicide.

The voters don’t give one shit. They will continue to vote Democrat no matter what. “My Grand Pappy voted Democrat and By Ned that is good enough for me”! It is not a pleasant thing to watch a Great Nation commit suicide.

DJT ran on the many things he’d do on Day One. Dems seem to hope you won’t wonder what they might do when they slink out of office.

This individual is likely pro-abortion.

And anti-death penalty.

100% pure evil. These “people” should be shunned from society.

If government can do jury nullification, then sure as hell we as people on juries can do jury nullification.

Because juries rendered their verdict in these cases. He just wiped their decisions out, and they were the ones who heard the case.
