| [HuffPoo] In March of 2016, President Barack Obama granted Carol Denise Richardson a commutation of the life sentence she received in June 2006 after being convicted on two counts of conspiring to distribute crack cocaine and other drug-related charges. Her long criminal history included two previous felony drug offenses, which brought her a lifetime sentence for her later convictions. Richardson was one of 1,715 federal inmates, including 567 others serving life sentences, selected by the Obama administration’s far-reaching clemency program. A major focus of the clemency effort was easing punishments meted out to nonviolent drug offenders serving lengthy sentences. When she was released through the clemency program from a federal prison for women in Aliceville, Alabama on July 28, 2016, Richardson had served almost 10 years of her sentence. A condition of her release was that she remain under court supervision for the next 10 years. But less than a year later, on April 13 this year, Richardson was arrested in the Houston suburb of Pasadena for allegedly stealing $60 worth of laundry detergent. Her court-appointed lawyer said she planned to sell the detergent to buy drugs, since she had relapsed into addiction to crack. In addition to the theft arrest, federal prosecutors said Richardson had violated five other conditions of her release -- among them failing to tell the court of her arrest or her change of address, and having been fired from a job for not showing up for work. Now 49, Richardson lives in the Galveston area and has four children and two grandchildren. Her former husband, Eskico Garner, 37 years her senior, died in prison after drawing a 30-year sentence (later reduced to 20 years) for heading up a drug operation. |

| #4 Constitutional lawyer (smirk) Obama was not a very good a judge of character. As TW said, "O" was following the shibboleths of Progressivism and Saul Alinsky (Hillary and Obama's human god; long ago titz up.) and not the rule of law. Recall what Alinsky said in the dedication of Rules for Radicals: "Lest we forget at least an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to the very first radical: from all our legends, mythology, and history (and who is to know where mythology leaves off and history begins — or which is which), the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom." — Lucifer. The Progressives have turned heaven into hell. |

| #3 She and the others got a second -- or some higher number -- chance, courtesy of the gentleman who acted on all the Progressive shibboleths he could get away with. It will be useful for future considerations to see how many of those receiving this particular largess, like this woman, could not give up the pleasures of criminality. |
