President Joe Biden pardoned six individuals who had already completed sentences for their offenses, including drug-related crimes and second-degree murder, and had become active in their communities following their release.
The list includes Beverly Ann Ibn-Tamas, an 80-year-old Ohio woman who was convicted of murder for shooting her husband when she was 33.President Joe Biden pardoned six individuals Friday who had already completed sentences for their offenses, including drug-related crimes and second-degree murder, and had become active in their communities following their release.
She testified her husband physically assaulted her and threatened her in the moments before she killed him, but the court did not allow expert testimony regarding "battered woman syndrome." Edward Lincoln De Coito III, a 50-year-old California man, pleaded guilty to a marijuana trafficking charge when he was 23. He served more than a year in prison and has since served in the US Army and Army reserves.
At the time, Defense Secretary Mark Esper and other senior military leaders told Trump a presidential pardon could damage the integrity of the military judicial system and ability of military leaders to ensure good order and discipline. A White House official said the pardons were granted through a "deliberative process" that was coordinated closely with the Department of Justice.
