    She’s still a convicted felon and was serving her time on home confinement. She served several years in actual prison. She has not been forgiven for her crime.

    I really don’t understand Lemmy. People massively confusing pardons and sentence commutations. Further being outraged at the horrors of the American prison system, yet being pissed when people aren’t imprisoned enough.

      It’s disgusting because they should have put her back in prison to finish her sentence. There’s tons of people who don’t deserve to be in prison but still are and then they release shitbags like this. What’s the punishment for bank robbery? You steal $10k and get more time than this.

      One of the people he pardoned was a judge responsible for the cash-for-kids scandal. A judge who took money to send kids to for profit prisons. I just can’t fathom that they’re someone deserving of a pardon.
