      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.

      It's a pretty well accepted rule that if you participate in a crime that results in an innocent death, you are culpable for that death.

      Where did you complete your law degree? Many states have already abolished or strictly curtailed felony murder. Canada, UK, Ireland etc, have abolished it.

      Not sure what your point is, but thanks. Do you believe in this situation he is not culpable?

      You said it was “well accepted” and I showed you it’s not. There are different degrees of guilt with corresponding severities in sentencing. This was way beyond what the sentence should have been in a civilized judicial system.

      In a civilized judicial system, capital murder should be punishable by death. Remember, capital punishment serves two purposes; retribution and deterrence. A civilized judicial system should protect innocent life to the extent it can. To not to is not justice.

      1. He didn’t murder anyone 2. State sanctioned murder is murder and contrary to the very def of “civilized” 3. Retribution is only 1 of 5 objectives of the system. The other 4 aren’t achieved by a death penalty. 4. Use of death penalty discriminates v impoverished, POC,

      All good points. 1. Someone was murdered in the commission of a crime and your guy participated. 2. The death penalty is not murder. Murder is taking of an innocent life with malice. 3. All I care about are retribution and deterrence. 4. That is simply not true. Sorry.

      Also, you’re ok with innocent people being put to death due to wrongful conviction? Just collateral damage in the support of your “civilized” system? I’m ending this here because our concepts of justice are too far apart to have a meaningful discussion. Vengeance is toxic.
