Trump Commutes Sentence Of Woman Serving Life For Nonviolent Drug Offense!

Her being a "great-grandmother" softens one to think she did not deserve such a long sentence. But if you look at the charges, sounds fair.

Glad for her and her family it is over.

That is not a nonviolet Crime.

How was it a violent crime? Selling drugs isn't violent? Neither is money laundering.

There do seem to be certain people, who after being in prison for a long time, just strike you as being completely rehabilitated like this woman does. Why should we have to continue to pay to house, feed and give medical care to a person like that when they can do it for themselves and be no further harm to society to boot?

lol the tax payers will continue to feed, house, and clothe her.  If she is a great-grandmother then she is probably retirement age and she won't be able to get a job being old and being in jail all her life. Just how it is. So she likely will get out, apply for food stamps and welfare.  She hasn't worked so she doesn't have social security to draw.

Charles Manson was likely a great grandfather.  Did he deserve to be let out because he had grand kids? You are right though when they throw that in there people auto think of a sweet little old lady baking cookies and knitting.

Heard about this on the radio...good for Trump...think she should be monetarily compensated for a few years too.
Some judges go overboard...

She was the leader of a drug cartel, she was caught with over 5,000 pounds of cocaine...I think she is lucky to be out and does not deserve any sort of compensation.

That was generous of Kim Kardashian to help that women who has jailed for a non-violent offense. It was too long and I feel like she learned her lesson. I know she was very grateful! Trump did a good deed for once.

I think that is great, but how does Kim Kardashian play a part in helping to get her sentence commuted?

Kim Kardashian made a personal plea to Trump, very shortly afterwards he commuted her sentence.  Again, I think this woman deserved it but it also shows it's more about who you know or whose attention you get.  That, for me, is sad.

interesting story nonetheless
