My heart is bursting. On the eve of my first child's birth, my dad - who's been in prison nearly my entire life - was granted clemency. He never intended harm, yet his crime devastated many families. My heart breaks for the families that can never get their loved ones back.

Why should you be able to see your dad if those sons and daughters of those who died in the commission of a crime he was involved with dont ever get to see theirs? Can you actually give a good answer to those families? This is what justice should have been but is now been undone

"Died in the comission of a crime he was involved with" Seems like you know his dad never actually killed anyone. Should we throw his son in prison too? His wife? The man who sold the other perpetrators the guns? How far exactly does this "guilt by association" stretch?

Its not hard, common sense and logic determine and in this case, determined, the "stretch". Are you willing to say his dad didnt know people would get shot when his co-conspirators loaded the car with automatic weapons? Did he not know he was about to commit a felony?
