Fetterman cast lone vote in failed bid to free man convicted of murdering woman with scissors; DA speaks out

Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. and Democratic Senate candidate John Fetterman last year cast the lone vote in a failed bid to commute the sentence of a man convicted of murdering a woman with a pair of scissors.

The district attorney in the case alleged during an interview with Fox News Digital on Thursday that Fetterman "had a predetermined agenda" to get the man released, and that he tried to use his power as chair of the state's Board of Pardons to substitute the "power of the jury and the criminal justice system."

John David Brookins was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison in 1992 for the 1990 killing of his girlfriend’s mother, Sharon Ginsberg, who was found with a pair of large scissors lodged in her chest.

I wonder if all the felons that the dems get off, are contacted later and recruited under threat of incarceration or God only knows what threats, to be part of their vote fraud network.

His wife was a big “justice” activist before they met. They met when she wrote a letter to him.

Just remember 50% of Pennsylvania’s population has below average IQs. A large majority of them live in Philadelphia and Allegheny Counties.

How in hell did someone like this get elected to statewide public office? Are the voters in PA mentally ill?

I thought that was a picture of the murderer Brookins. Jesus God help us.

His voters don't have to be dumb...

Brookins was found guilty of killing his girlfriend’s mother, Sharon Ginsberg.

Seven years later he started claiming he had walked in on his girlfriend stabbing her mother. And didn’t tell the police because who would believe him?

DNA testing is a red herring at this point. If Brookins’s DNA is on the scissors, he used them to cut a cloth. If it isn’t there, or his girlfriend’s is, it means he’s innocent! Or at least reasonable doubt.

If course, his girlfriend could have cut something with the scissors, or he could have wiped them, or DNA could have degraded in 32 years.

For once, I find myself agreeing with the prosecutor not wanting to test DNA— don’t let the convicted drag red herrings.

Cue the Tracey Ullman death row widow video, which I cannot find...

“Just remember 50% of Pennsylvania’s population has below average IQs. A large majority of them live in Philadelphia and Allegheny Counties.”

Too many dumb and brain block white voters too in PA. No way am I blaming this on the inner city / urban types. PA is inbred whites. I said it! Hoodie and shorts wearing goon ... They identify with this Frankenstein Fetterman.

He won in a crowded primary with votes split to be the D nominee in 2018.

The previous Lt. Gov. had to be replaced when he got into some problems.

Could this lump be a shunt that was implanted after his stroke? I definitely think that the hookie is deliberately worn to hide it from the public.
