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.

That last sentence seems so misplaced and disingenuous

Give the guy a break. He's spent a lifetime thinking about this crime. To suggest he's not both happy that his father is out, but mindful of those who were killed, is entirely unfair. I can't imagine even trying to craft a statement that captures all of that.

his parents were domestic terrorists that killed policemen. (not just your "run of the mill" criminal) He was let out last minute by a disgraced Mayor. Now Chesa is celebrating it - what about the family of the fallen police officers? Bet their heart is not bursting!

DAs and police associations callously enlist victims families as political props decade after decade as if keeping someone in prison should somehow make them more whole and be their life's work. Those families are freer today.
