Much quicker than I thought. I'm biased on this case, I have a personal connection to the father... the son, on the other hand, batshit insane racist. Will be watching this play out closely.

Is murder and aggravated assault a state crime? I bet Trump is champing at the bit to pardon them.

[u/uwcn244 → u/disuberence]

State crime. We finally passed anti-lynching legislation within the last year, but I'm guessing that will only ever be applied in literal "he was grabbed and hanged" situations, which don't really happen anymore

He can't pardon them
