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.

Why should you be able to see your dad if those sons and daughters of those who died in the commission of a crime he was involved with dont ever get to see theirs? Can you actually give a good answer to those families? This is what justice should have been but is now been undone

He paid the debt demanded by society for this crime. Meanwhile It's pretty damn evil to continue demanding vengeance for political gain as you're doing here. An eye for an eye leaves everyone blind.

Actually he didn’t. Kind of the point. He got a get out of jail free card from the guy running out of office.

He's been in prison for over 30 years for driving a getaway car. Is your sense of vengeance so extreme that 30 years for being next to a crime is not a high enough price? Are you even the same person you were 30 years ago?

It’s not vengeance. You spinning it as such doesn’t make it so. He was found guilty and given his sentence by a court of law. That was obfuscated by a guy leaving office dishonorably. Not sure how you spin that as ethical or honorable.
