Waiting on this assholes pardon. This countries judicial system is a joke when the king can pardon offenders.
If you want systemic change lobby and empower parole boards and get rid of for profit prisons. Also remove minimum sentences and regulate drugs. JFC, pardons are the billionaire donations of the judicial system.
However, I'm not advocating for getting rid of pardons before we fix the prison industrial complex.
Hopefully the families of the Capital Officers who were doing their fucking job win any and all civil suits.
What sucks is that a pardon should be a good thing.
If someone brings the president news that a man is sitting in prison because a small town police officer had a grudge against his uncle or something, there should be a system in place that takes out all of the bureaucracy and just allows a person to go home.
We could probably do better than hand it over to the president. I mean, they’re definitely going to be partisan about things. In some cases, outright criminal, obviously.
I’d say those capitol storming fuckwits have been praying he’d get reelected.
I wonder if he’ll actually let them out though haha. Is he going to do it immediately? Make them wait? Not do it at all but go on and on about it being an injustice?
There's a Pardon Office at the DOJ that normally handles vetting and recommending pardons. Realistically, there's no way to do it apolitically. Everyone has a political bias, which will be reflected in the recommendations.
It’s a bummer that we can’t be more apolitical. I mean, I know it’s doable. It would be hard to vet people, but probably doable.
Maybe AI will be of some use to humanity and will be fed case data one day and then it can bring the odd ones to the top.
Who knows? Not me, I’m just an idiot.
AI is inherently biased by the input. It's glorified analytics and predictive text/pixel software that relies on existing data. So what's best is what we're doing. It would just as likely recommend more executions.
I mean, maybe it could analyze data and show where people have been convicted with no evidence so that humans wouldn’t have to go digging for it.
I don’t know. I don’t know anything about it really.
Everyone is convicted with some evidence. The problem for a lot of these actual innocence cases is the evidence is either not actually very compelling or made up. For example, a shitty eyewitness saying they saw the defendant do it is still evidence, even if it turns out they're wrong.
I imagine he'll let them out if it serves him in some way, and he won't if it doesn't. It's not like he gives a damn about them.
He will likely use these goons to attack and intimidate any and all of his declared "enemies".
He's got plenty of goons. Unless these specific goons serve a purpose, I doubt he'll spare a thought for them.
