High-profile inmates serving life sentence for marijuana crimes were not given clemency by President Barack Obama on Thursday, leaving their families devastated after long public campaigns urging their freedom.
John Knock, whose sister Beth Curtis has lobbied for the release of nonviolent marijuana convicts, learned Wednesday that his application had been denied. Knock was arrested in 1996 and convicted in 2000 of participating in an international pot-smuggling operation.
“It’s an incredibly painful disappointment that my brother – a wonderful person who is totally nonviolent – is going to die in prison,” Curtis says, holding back tears.

WHEN ARE THESE MORONS, WHO STILL SUPPORT HIM AND HATE TRUMP, WAKE UP AND SEE REALITY ?
It would be interesting to know the racial make up of those who Obama has pardoned.
Some kinda critter.
While he thinks selling Heroin is not a big deal...
what a joke Obama is/was/will be
It’s a Pallas’s cat (viking kitty wannabe)
So bammy hates Whitey. No surprise.
Only blacks and Mexican cartel offenders. Oh, and transgender traitors.
It looks like a cross between an Ewok and a cat.
Do not change titles.
“My brother along with about 2,500 others were denied yesterday,” she says. “The big story is the number of denials that have gone out. My brother was among them along with other nonviolent marijuana offenders and many, many nonviolent drug offenders.””
Well then you can ask President Trump to free your brother.
That is a specimen of Pallas' cat. It is a small wild cat that lives in central Asia, India, Pakistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakstan, and Mongolia. Aren't they gorgeous?
John Knock is not from the hood. He does not speak Ebonics.
The ones he should release — nonviolent pot offenders — he doesn’t.
The ones he shouldn’t release — Mexican cartel drug lords — he does.
Obama is Satan’s Little Helper.
Totally expected.
I guess they should have been violent. Then Ubama would commuted their sentences in a heartbeat.
I can’t stop watching this...hahaha!
“The ones he should release — nonviolent pot offenders — he doesn’t.”
We can expect that President Trump will release all the nonviolent pot offenders.
Pot Life
Is that anything like Field and Stream?
Trump should pardon anyone busted for pot in the first week. Set an example.
I agree. Mandatory sentencing in the “war” on drugs by Bush One was simply stupid.
What breed of cat is that? I want one!
(Congrats on becoming First Lady)
I am not all for pardoning dealers. Or cartel bosses. Just maybe personal use prisoners.
Wonder if Obama should maybe pardon crack users since he just loved the combo of receiving bj’s with the crack pipe in hand...
