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.

If the same crime were to happen in San Francisco today, most likely the getaway drivers would probably be charged as accessories since Chesa opposes felony murder. In Oklahoma they could get the death penalty. So if a lack of consistencies is your concern then I agree.
