114 Commutation of Sentence

Earning Freedom with Michael Santos ·

2015/07/14

President Obama commuted the sentence of 46 federal prisoners yesterday. Those people were serving lengthy sentences. Most were serving sentences in excess of 20 years. Some of the people didn’t have release dates. Without a commutation, they would have been incarcerated for life. They didn’t receive those sentences because they preyed on people or because they were violent. Instead, they sold drugs to consenting adults. Mandatory drug laws resulted in the Draconian sentences. From my perspective,

Do you know how many people face charges in federal court each year? More than 75,000 people each year see a document that says The United States of America versus their last name. Of those 75,000 people who face a federal criminal indictment, more than 10,000 do not consider themselves criminals. They believe that they will never see the inside of a federal prison.

Keith Arthur Vinson attempted to develop a 1,400-acre luxury golf-community in North Carolina. He retained legendary golfer Arnold Palmer as a designer and sold more than 125 lots in the range of $400k. A lot of glitz when into the marketing of the development, apparently. Unfortunately, the recession resulted in the dream turning into a failed land deal. Authorities charged Vinson with
