Mr. Clemency

I remember that case well. Sanders killed her about 35 miles from my house. The trial was held in the federal courthouse closest to me.

Sanders shot Lexis four times and cut her throat when she didn't die fast enough. Then he threw her body into the woods to rot.

Her remains had to be identified by dental records.

I don't know if he's in Oakdale or Pollock. I hope next year the guards "forget" about him for awhile.

You know, the Bible gives definitive dimensions for Heaven. Hell is a little different. It enlarges as the population increases. I hope Satan has an extra special place for Mr. Sanders.

It could happen...

Surprised it took so long...

Heard on the radio today, that privately, several Dems are upset with this one.

And they plan to....what?

[Jolly]

Do nothing, I would suspect.

[Mik]

Be upset. But man, he is providing enough Willie Hortons to last for decades.

[George K]

Take comfort in the fact that the murderers are not going to be released.

Right?

RIGHT???

[Mik]

Clemency was never intended to be used in this manner. Totally inappropriate. If you can convince the legislature to abolish capital punishment, great. All for it. But not like this.

I don’t think so. He could pardon them for past violations of immigration law, but that wouldn’t change their immigration status. They’d be illegal again tomorrow.

[Mik]

It might protect them from prosecution but not deportation.
