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

Replying to @SterlingRettke @chesaboudin
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.

If he had driven the *victim* to an alley where he knew the 5 armed men were waiting to rob them, would that be any different in your opinion? Why or why not?
