JTN: Democrat Lt. Gov. John Fetterman was the only person on the Pennsylvania Board of Pardons to vote to commute the sentence of Wayne Covington, who was sentenced to life in prison for shooting and killing a teenager during a robbery for drug money.
Fetterman, who is now running against Republican Dr. Mehemet Oz to replace retiring GOP Sen. Pat Toomey, voted in June 2021 to commute Covington’s life sentence, records reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon show. Fetterman chairs the Pennsylvania Board of Pardons as lieutenant governor.
In order to avoid the death penalty, Covington pleaded guilty in 1970 to the first-degree murder of 18-year-old George Rudnycky. Covington and an accomplice were high when they robbed the teen for money to buy heroin.
Rudnycky’s family members pleaded to keep Covington behind bars at his commutation hearing, but Fetterman voted as the lone board member to support Covington’s release.
Fetterman’s campaign website says that he has taken the role of lieutenant governor and “transformed the position into a bully pulpit for criminal justice reform.”
He previously said he ran for lieutenant governor just to lead the Board of Pardons and has called to end life sentences for people who were convicted of second-degree murder but did not “pull the trigger.” more
Progressivism is totally invested in increasing innocent human suffering, misery and death. There is a stone cold natural fact that they remind everyone of constantly.
Apparently Rudnycky’s family were outbid by Covington’s.
Funny how Progressivism is sooo much like Communism, huh?

Must make (D-NY) KICKBACK KATHY (HOCHUL), the unelected gov, real proud regarding the killer since she advocates, urges, and promotes the use of illegal heroin, fentanyl, and crack in her ‘EMPOWERING’ poster-ad messages of illegal drug use and OD, plus the usage in open-air, crack dens, and shooting galleries.
