What are the chances that these people will get pardoned, etc, when(if) normality returns?
Also what's the chances that the judge who handed down these long and unfair sentences will get any repercussions for being so obviously corrupt?
I don't think a President can pardon a state crime, so you need a blue Texas Governor for starters.
Honestly 50/50
You can't really bounce back from the bullshit that has just ensued immediately, it's also kinda apparent to your average leftist that the democratic party is kind spineless as fuck when it comes to the right, so to have judges IN TEXAS MIND YOU bounce back from their previous decisions? Not gonna be too easy
I hope they stand a good chance for an appeal based on the jury selection fuckery
Unlikely. The US executes people when there's so much new evidence after sentencing pointing toward them not being guilty that the original prosecutors plead for them to not execute. The Dem establishment's complaints against ICE are mostly just procedural; they just argue for things like more transparency for these detention centers, not their abolishment.
The last time that a Democratic president was in office for a federal execution was Lyndon Johnson.
Snarling wolves and smiling foxes.
A full pardon? Maybe for some of them, especially the zine guy, but the guy who actually shot the cop, unlikely. No democrat would want the optics of that.
Gotta commute that absurd sentence tho
Even the cop shooter should be fully pardoned.
Cop shot first. The guy who shot him did so in community defense.
In fact that cop may have given the shooter's attorneys an argument to revisit Harlow v Fitzgerald, and hand the SCOTUS the full text of §1983. They were given, unknowingly, an illegally edited text in 1982 when Harlow v Fitzgerald established Qualified Immunity, which is illegal according to the full statute as recorded in the 1871 Congressional Record.
