Pardoned after 58 years when his conviction was extremely dubious.

What was Trump's reason for pardoning someone convicted of:

'Conspiracy to distribute cocaine; distribute cocaine (four counts);

murder of DEA agent;

murder of DEA agent in furtherance of drug conspiracy;

use of firearm during drug trafficking crime'

Good. No one should be in jail for simple possession of marijuana.

'She was convicted of second-degree murder by a jury that was not 
permitted to hear crucial expert testimony about the impact of intimate 
partner violence.  Instead, the prosecutor used harmful myths and 
stereotypes about domestic violence to convince the jury to convict. 
Ms. Ibn-Tamas got locked up for protecting her own life.

Ms. Tamas survived beatings, asphyxiation, endangered pregnancies, and 
endless trauma. And then she was forced to survive prison. And survive 
she did. After her release, Ms. Ibn-Tamas went on to raise her family 
and pursue a very successful career as a nursing director. '
