Greg Leon Dead

Dios mio, he commuted his own sentence.

I wonder if the conscience of the jurors responsible for putting him in this unliveable situation will bother any of them. I would say the same for the judge who sentenced Mr Leon but suspect that anyone capable of handing down such an excessive sentence is already devoid of a conscience, and has been for a long time. A man who built a sizeable restaurant empire, extended numerous acts of philanthropy in his community, and employed many people is gone. I wonder how many street thugs, who never contributed a thing yet took much from society this judge gave far lesser sentences to for murdering American citizens.

We are supposed to be tried by a jury of our peers. Were any successful businessmen of Mexican origin on Mr Leon’s jury? That may have been enough to get the conviction overturned on appeal. Too bad he will never find out.
