.JohnFetterman wants to see the criminals set free as early as possible, no matter how violent their crimes, writes ZacharyFaria. He is among the left-wing Democrats who want to remove justice from the criminal justice system.
Fetterman’s campaign has walked back his support of releasing all convicted second-degree murderers serving life without parole. He had previously said in a taped interview that he wanted a conversation that “would free close to 1,200 people.” At the time, there were 1,166 people in Pennsylvania serving life sentences without parole for second-degree murder. Fetterman’s campaign now says he does not support what he explicitly said he supported.
If that is not enough, Fetterman’s latest appointment to the board perfectly personifies his stance. Fetterman appointed Celeste Trusty, who tweeted of convicted murderer Mumia Abu-Jamal, “I love mumia! he’s my buddy ... he’s like an uncle to a bunch of my friends who were on the row with him.”
