That IS good news.
(Alice Marie Johnson was sentenced to life in prison in 1996 on non-violent drug charges.)
Life in prison???!!!
Seriously???!!!
Yes VERY SERIOUSLY. Do you know how many lives are LOST to drugs each day? Drug pushers/dealers should face the highest capital punishment in every country.

You might want to research Alice Marie Johnson and what she has been involved with, in her 22 years in prison, and why there's been advocacy groups working on her behalf. Thank GOD for His grace.
God bless you brother.

Wait, on this very board the former president was being condemned for pardoning drug offenders, now it's something to celebrate?

Trump’s just trying to win over black evangelicals .( we’ve seen the viper for what it is though) Even though ms Johnson didn’t deserve life in jail

so why bother to punish anyone for any crimes? You reasoning is faulty! Maybe there will be no punishment for sinners either

Meanwhile he's trying to lock up nonviolent drug offenders with longer sentences...

In the case of drug offenses, there was no actual crime committed.

the link in the OP says, "she was convicted of being part of a drug-smuggling ring". Is this no longer a crime?

My meaning is that while it's illegal, it's not a crime in my view. People want to buy drugs, others make them and sell them to supply that demand. No ones rights are violated hence no crime.
