Deep dives
The Pardon of Derek Chauvin
The discussion centers around the potential pardon of Derek Chauvin by President Trump, highlighting the implications of federal versus state sentences. It is noted that Chauvin's concurrent sentences would lead to significantly less time served under federal charges compared to state charges due to differing credit systems for good behavior. The argument is made that if one believes a person is innocent, it is ethically sound for the president to intervene with a pardon or commutation. This notion is explained further, asserting that allowing someone believed to be innocent to languish in prison is morally objectionable.
