Huju -“Your Google research establishes that Rivera committed many horrible crimes, was unrepentant at the time of his convictions, and was considered unrepentant by the family of one of his victims. That would make his original sentence – I think it was 45 years – reasonable (or too light, in my opinion). I knew all that when I commented on his pardon.
But we do not know how he behaved (or did not behave) in prison or any other reason why he was pardoned, but we do know it came after he got old, and after he served 36 years. That’s why I do not believe that his pardon was inappropriate”
“too light”
Way too light!
The Boston Bomber was given the Death sentence.
This was Overturned in Appeals Court.
Now the Prosecutors are deciding whether to appeal to SCOTUS or to let him rot with an actual Life sentence.
From the Net:
“I am sorry for the lives I have taken, for the suffering that I have caused you, for the damage I have done, irreparable damage,” said Tsarnaev. “In case there is any doubt, I am guilty of this attack, along with my brother”
This terrorist apologized and Lopez didn’t.
I’m wondering whether it was PC at the time to be lenient with Purtoricans or/and Chicago is more Lib than Boston?!?
Anyways, if you’re the President, and the Terrorist wasn’t sent to Death or given a Life Sentence, why would you Commute such a Guy?!?
IMHO, if this is the case, what crime is worse?
Obama should have let e/o out of Jail!
