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.

He drove people carrying guns to a bank robbery. Knowingly!!! If that is not INTENT then what is? He carried death in his car and paid the consequences as any other person would .

The intent to transport armed individuals who end up using those guns in the commission of a crime, is not the same as the intent to actually cause harm. I don’t expect you to understand but despite the emotional outrage by many, that happens to be the truth, and the law.
