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.

That last sentence seems so misplaced and disingenuous

Replying to @R10candle @chesaboudin
Give the guy a break. He's spent a lifetime thinking about this crime. To suggest he's not both happy that his father is out, but mindful of those who were killed, is entirely unfair. I can't imagine even trying to craft a statement that captures all of that.

Wonder if you’d “give the guy a break” if it was someone you loved that he’d killed.

Replying to @Bootz_And_Katz @Toole67 and
He participated in a bank robbery. People getting killed is a foreseeable outcome yet he and the wife participated. He doesn’t get an “I didn’t actually pull the trigger” escape clause here.
