80-year-old Columbus, Ohio resident Beverly Ann Ibn-Tamas was found guilty of murdering her husband at the age of 33. She claimed that her husband had threatened, verbally abused, and physically assaulted her. She testified to the jury that she shot him while she was still pregnant, shortly after he had assaulted her. The battered woman syndrome, a psychological condition that can arise among victims of domestic violence, was brought up in expert testimony, but the judge rejected it. She was sentenced to one to five years in prison, with credit for time already served. She filed one of the earliest appeals by a victim of battered woman syndrome, and academics have researched her case.

ok, what about your own evil criminal son?? This whole thing is a circus…
I hope I don’t go to jail for voting conservative.
Weird – I was just wondering how much Doc John makes a month (working part time) and here it is!
“Biden pardons woman convicted of murdering her husband and 5 others”
That’s copied direct fox’s page. Being a semi educated person who understands plane english, I assumed the woman murdered 6 people.
Most of the felon/foot soldiers were released during covid.
Regarding the first case (and overlooking Bongo’s observation), wouldn’t that have been a state crime and not a federal crime? If it was a state crime how would Biden have the power to pardon her? The other cases seem as if there could have been a federal element making them something that Biden could pardon, but not the first.
Oddly enough, of the six (assuming the woman’s story is true) the first was the only person I have sympathy for.
Maybe I read the story wrong. All of those mentioned committed acts years, if not decades, ago and their sentences were fairly short. Are they still in prison?
Hunter Biden mysteriously absent from the list, but then you have to actually be charged for your several hundred felonies, tried, & convicted before you can be pardoned, and that’s as likely a to happen as reliable EV’s.
Roger F: I thought that at first, too. I think the point is that the convictions get removed from their records and their rights are restored.
RadioMattM – yup. Meaningless pardons guaranteeing more communi… Democrat voters
