A Prisoner of war

  • by

In the last minutes of the last day of his presidency, President Clinton signed his last presidential pardon – a slot usually given to the most controversial case. This particular pardon was the communion of a life sentence for a felon who had served time in a state prison before being given the sentence of a lifetime in prison. For a non-violent offence. No one was murdered. No one was even hurt. Nothing has been stolen (except from the prisoner, by one of the witnesses at his federal trial).

The name was Donald Clark, or Donnie to everyone who knew him, and his crime was the breeding and selling of the best marijuana the west coast of Florida had ever seen.
