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.

How did he not intend harm? Genuinely curious how one can interpret the actions of that robbery as one that was attempted to be peaceful

There’s a diff between property crimes and crimes with the intent to physically harm another person. That’s clearly what he meant. As an unarmed driver of the car, he didn’t harm another and had no intent to. His role was wrong but the severity of the punishment was also wrong.

The severity of the punishment was too lenient. If you are an accomplice in a crime where a murder occurs you are as guilty as the trigger man. I doubt his father has given up his extreme left wings views which makes him a high risk individual.
