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.

David has been in jail for more than 35 years. That’s a lot longer than most people serve for murder. So where is the privilege? I am very happy for David, his father, and his soon to be born child.

Really, 35 years for killing 2 cops and an armored guard is too much?

Learn the definition of felony murder. It's like saying the person who made the bomb and placed the bomb are innocent and only the person who activated the bomb is guilty of bombing. No they are all guilty.

Felony murder is a bullshit rule. Driving a getaway car is not murder except when a prosecutor gets too thirsty for punishment. Your example is false too, as that is just murder with clear intent, not felony murder

Learn about the specific case. Gilbert and Boudin teamed up with folks who were armed with M16s to rob a brinks truck (who also carry rifles). They really thought no killing would take place? The 20 years served by Boudin and 40 years for Gilbert are too short in my opinion.

That’s your opinion but this is the problem with felony murder, “team up” is such a vague concept. If they had just loaned them a car are they murderers? If they loaned them shoes are they murderers? No one is saying they are perfectly innocent, just that they are not murderers
