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.

Replying to @sfironicle @chesaboudin
Check out this letter, https://m.facebook.com/1016107738597750/posts/i-received-a-clemency-petition-for-david-gilbert-i-knew-david-at-columbia-if-i-r/1402931996581987/ …, just 1 of thousands people wrote on Gilbert's behalf over the 40 years of his incarceration. Many people respect his political position at a time after the murder of Fred Hampton, the Vietnam & Cambodia genocide, COINTELPRO, & etc.
