The move comes amid criticism over the transfer of hundreds of inmates to prisons from a Chino facility reeling from coronavirus infections.
“I have tried my best to better myself during the past 41 years by obtaining three associates degrees, completing countless self-help groups and have obtained great insight into my life as well as my crime,” she said in an email.“The opportunity to regain my freedom would mean that I would not be doomed to die in prison, but instead spend the last years of my life breathing the sweet air of freedom,” she added. “I would have a chance to regain my dignity.
A psychotherapist testifying on her behalf said she suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder from multiple past rapes and abuse beginning when she was 11, but the court ruled the evidence of past trauma was not relevant and did not allow the jury to hear it, according to court records.“Everyone assumed she would never see freedom again,” Yolo County Assistant Chief Deputy Dist. Atty. Melinda Aiello told The Times a week after Williams walked out of prison.
Absurd
Give the prisons your address and they will deliver the convicts to your door step...morons...🙄
Those released need be shipped to Africa.
Why are Leslie Van Houten and Pat Krenwinkel still in prison? The Manson stuff was 51 years ago. Hopefully this is how long Trumps admin will be locked up esp Ivanka, Kayleigh and Sarah Sanders
That’s the dumbest fucking sign I’ve ever seen!
Watch crime increase.
Release them all except Roger Stone.
Are you even allowed to do this? Does the murder victim get to be resurrected because of covid?
Soooo happy I fled this hellhole of a state.
The USA is dumb
Keep them in prison if they killed
Yup that states fucked I think. Hopefully they wake up before one of them murderers take out one of their loves ones.
Grams17anon The Left is incredibly destructive and hateful of society.
I don’t get it. If masks work so well, why not issue them to prisoners to protect them instead? I mean they’ve already been purchased by Gavin using Californians money.
To these some Californians, Covid-19 has destroyed your common sense more than anything else. Didn’t know this virus also enjoys killing brain cells!
Why are we doing this? Release a murderer into the city and more who can spread COVID? Contain it in the prison, give them masks and call it a day. This makes no sense! GavinNewsom is doing a terrible job.
Fuck that GavinNewsom ericgarcetti are you kidding me!!! You wAnt to release prisoners because of the dangers of Covid but also want to send children and teachers back to school!!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
And y’all want to defund police too, makes entire sense
Some say Who exactly because none of the residents want this.
California where you release felons and make felons out of law abiding citizens when it come to gun control... Done on purpose by Democrats! This way they control all of you!
Why don’t they just wear the masks? Are you admitting that masks don’t actually work to stop viral spread?
Supplementary agents for the next civil war...
They should all die in prison.
👎 bad idea GavinNewsom CBSLA NBCLA ABC7
Yes, please release murderers and rapist. All while defunding the police. Seems legit!
One individual was released while waiting trial for a rape charge and after his release he killed the woman that he allegedly raped. This one example should be brought to attention. Citylab conducted a study and 1% of a cities population is violent. 1,000,000 means 10,000 people.
I will never live in a place that doesn't punish murderers.
Gavin Pelosi
If murders die in prison from COVID-19 its karma.
Wtf who?
Where is the logic in all of this
CA has no contingency plans 4 where the inmates will go; where they will live and work and how it will be paid for. Releasing inmates into communities is a problem. Many are repeat offenders which means, without support, they will offend again. What about our safety & security?
BREAKING NEWS: Some prison sentences include release dates
Nice conservative framing 🙄 Seriously, this is fucking despicable. Fact: 70% of murders go unsolved, so surprise! Most murderers are already free, and most spend 8yrs in jail Fact: Jails are meant to be rehabilitative; so are you suggesting murderers can’t be rehabilitated?
I plan to follow Virginia’s lead on this and we won’t stop until our great nation-state lets the accused and their accusers work things out on the street.
Well, that's NOT insane.
nuts
Yes, release the murderers into the homes of the people who are demanding that the murderers be released.
If the masks work, why aren't they giving the prisoners them? WhatAJoke
Mind blown! My gawd!
How about they just release everyone else and social distance the murderers?
Recently released child molester RTK says hide your kids RapeTortureKill RecallGavinNewsom
'Some say'?....'SOME SAY?' What the hell kind of journalism is this? Because, I vividly recall kids doing this kind of reporting on their first job out of J school. lowhangingfruit
As we’re about to ‘re-structure’ law enforcement? Be careful what you ask for! Citizen- calling 911 911 - please hold 😳🤨😐🧐😤
The vast majority of prisoners being released are non-violent offenders who were imprisoned on drug charges. The fact LA times specifically mentions the murderers makes me wonder who funds them who has an interest in keeping people incarcerated
This is like the worst stereotype of California possible only it's real.
So, why do leftists want to release murderers? Are they sadists now?
Did they just not see what happened in Virginia when a rapist was released then promptly killed his accuser? If Gavin wants this, send them to his house and see how comfortable he is with these sickos around his kids.
If they murdered someone let them die in prison of COVID, not get out and kill someone else.
Abolish prison.
Another great idea from newsom and the democRats
Newsom knows he can never win re-election so why not inflict as much damage on the state as possible.
Whyyyyyyy! Fuck this stupid ass shit.

The people with the signs are republicans
I hope whoever testified against them will have protection.
Why are you releasing murders. What about pot users at least they haven't killed someone
Dumbfuckistan.
Narrator: others thought the whole plan was insane.
Who are these evil people ?
People want more murderers released? Wtf?
