He won't do a thing. Republicans want this to be a lesson to all the blacks and browns in this state. This type of stuff will scare people no matter what their criminal status is.

This is very sick indeed.  I am wondering what was behind her waiving her right to a jury trial.

Even if he wanted to, he's not allowed to grant pardons without recommended by the Board of Pardons and Paroles.

She was already on probation in this case. Regardless, it is an unconscionable punishment.

There is no racism in the United States, just like there is no sexism.
These are all excuses by the Democrats because they lost to Trump.

This is not an example of voter fraud.  This is an example of an overly Draconian penalty.
