US President Joe Biden is underwater after he granted full pardons to six individuals who were convicted of heinous crimes.
On Friday, President Biden pardoned the individuals who had already served their sentences for the crimes that they committed which ranged from murder to drug-related charges.
One of the six was identified as 80-year old Beverly Ann Ibn-Tamas, who was convicted of murder in the second degree while armed after she killed her husband when she was 33 years old.
According to the reports, the convict was pregnant at the time the murder took place and even testified that her husband had beaten and threatened before killing him.
In an official statement released by the White House, it was revealed that “During her trial, the court refused to allow expert testimony regarding battered woman syndrome, a psychological condition and pattern of behavior that develops in victims of domestic violence.”
“Ms. Ibn-Tamas was ultimately sentenced to a term of one to five years’ incarceration, with credit for time served. Ms. Ibn-Tamas’s appeal marked one of the first significant steps toward judicial recognition of battered woman syndrome, and her case has been the subject of numerous academic studies,” it added.
After she got out of prison, Ibn-Tamas became the Director of Nursing for an Ohio-based healthcare business where she’s currently working.
Another ex-convict was identified as 66 year old Gary Parks Davis, who pleaded guilty at age 22.
According to the court documents, he was charged for using a communication facility (a telephone) to facilitate an unlawful cocaine transaction.
The White House claimed that Davis had served his six-month sentence on nights and weekends at a county jail and went to earn a bachelor’s degree and own a landscaping company.
Moreover, the Daily Caller also released an exclusive report about the remaining pardoned individuals.
The report identified “Edward Lincoln De Coito III, 50, was pardoned over a marijuana trafficking conspiracy charge that he was convicted of at age 23. After serving roughly a year and a half in prison, he worked as an electrician and a pilot. He is a U.S. Army veteran,” and “Vincente Ray Flores, 37, was convicted of consuming ecstasy and alcohol while serving in the military. After serving his sentence and other penalties, he returned to active duty where he won numerous awards and continues to serve today.”
It also added “Charlie Byrnes Jackson, 77, pled guilty to a single count of possession and sale of distilled spirits without tax stamps when he was 18 years old. He is an active member of his church and has a track record of helping people in need,” and “John Dix Nock III, 72, pled guilty to one count of renting and making for use, as an owner, a place for the purpose of manufacturing marijuana plants, the White House said. He operates a general contracting company and helps mentor young men.”
