Richard Paey Pardoned!!
Given the general tenor of posts on this blog, I couldn’t resist posting some great news. Richard Paeye has received a full pardon! This is incredible! Frankly, I had lost hope that there was enough enough sense left within our government on these issues to even commute his sentence. Giving him a full pardon just wasn’t even within the bounds of my imagination. What wonderful news for him and for his family.
I wish I could say that I’m encouraged by the things said in this article regarding the obvious problems in the legal system as it pertains to the drug war. Unfortunately, past history shows it’s unlikely anything will be done. Very little is even being done in Alabama, and an elderly woman was murdered.
