Fetterman Voted to Put Murderers Back on Streets
3rd March 2021
Senate hopeful John Fetterman often touts his role in advocating for the release of harmless and “innocent” prisoners. A review of the Democrat’s record on commutation cases, however, shows the Democrat has voted to release violent criminals jailed for their roles in brutal murders.
As Pennsylvania’s lieutenant governor, Fetterman leads the five-person Board of Pardons, which evaluates clemency applications in the state. Since taking on the job in 2019, the Democrat has voted to release more criminals sentenced to life in prison than any other member of the panel, state records obtained by the Washington Free Beacon show.
