Was Biden right to commute Leonard Peltier's sentence?

[Lliam]

“He is now 80 years old, suffers from severe health ailments, and has spent the majority of his life (nearly 50 years) in prison. This commutation will enable Mr Peltier to spend his remaining days in home confinement but will not pardon him for his underlying crimes,” the White House statement read.

Tribal Nations, Nobel Peace laureates, former law enforcement officials, dozens of lawmakers, and human rights organizations strongly support granting Mr Peltier clemency.

James H Reynolds, the US attorney who handled the prosecution and appeal of Peltier’s case, publicly apologized, calling the prosecution and incarceration of Peltier “unjust” and has called for his immediate release.

Given the facts, I think Biden should have granted him a total pardon.

I think it was right. I agree a full pardon would have been in order, but even if he was leaving office, that's a bit much politically.

I remember Wounded Knee. Being a young rebel at the time I sided with the Indians (as they were still called then.).

Yes, and Mr. Peltier, a true American hero, should have had his sentence commuted YEARS AGO !!!

Wow, don't know enough. When the prosecutor says it was jacked... I'd take heed to the "full pardon". Some people got killed doing their job and officials got away with the mess.

Mike Huckabee granted clemency to a murderer. A day after the criminal got out, he shot four cops in a donut shop. Mike Huckabee said that if he would’ve known that was going to happen, he wouldn’t have let him out.

Biden hasn't done anything right in 50 years. This is less bad than usual.

[exitseven]

Why not, he pardoned another murderer, this guy might as well get to skate too.
