Here is what the discussion looked like almost a decade ago: >>9626985

Very striking to see how the sentiment has drastically shifted, while the facts of the case did not. There is a really cultural shift visible in how this issue is seen on here.

Now people complain about the pardon, back then people complained about the sentence. People love to complain.

you know there's a pretty massive gap between "double lifetime sentence + 40 years w/ no chance of parole is too harsh" and "10 years w/ full pardon expunging the record is bad". A really, really fucking massive giant gap between those, in fact.

But surely it's just that people love to complain, right? Can't possibly be that they thought something like 25yr was more reasonable?
