Before she left office, Governor Kate Brown commuted the sentences of people in prison who behaved well while under lock and key. She released others who she were near the end of their sentences, and chose to shorten the "sentences of 912 nonviolent inmates at risk of contracting COVID, granted 130 pardons, cleared death row, and wiped away cannabis possession convictions of nearly 50,000 people," Willamette Week reported.
In December 2022 I wrote in PJ Media that when she was on her way out office, Brown abolished the death penalty.
And now: Tina Brown's partner-in-crime is the chief suspect in the slayings of six innocent women.
Law Enforcement Officials Suspect a Multnomah County Man Released Early From Prison Is a Serial Killer
Jesse Lee Calhoun is in custody but has not yet been charged in any of the deaths of six women earlier this year.
WW has learned that a Multnomah County man is a suspect in the killings of four of six women found dead earlier this year in the greater Portland metro area.
Several people familiar with ongoing investigations in multiple jurisdictions tell WW that detectives have linked four of the deaths to Jesse Lee Calhoun, whose most recent address is in Portland.
Serial killers are unusual, but Calhoun's case, according to people familiar with it, may be one of a kind.
That's because Calhoun, 38, is among the more than 1,000 inmates whom former Gov. Kate Brown granted clemency, allowing them to leave prison early. Of those Brown released early, officials believe Calhoun is the only one whose clemency has since been revoked.
Records show that Calhoun is currently in custody at Snake River Correctional Institution in Ontario, where he was lodged July 6 on charges apparently unrelated to the murders. (The charges on which he is being held do not show up in online court records, which is unusual.) He has not yet been charged in any of the women's deaths, although officials expect that will change.
Calhoun, reportedly a talented artist who told booking officials he earned his living painting designs on vehicles, has a long record of felony convictions dating to 2004. After arresting him in 2018 with meth, several guns, and more than 500 rounds of ammunition, the Multnomah County Sheriff's Office called him a "prolific thief and career criminal."
Brown used the Useful Crisis of Covid as a pretext to engage in mass releases of dangerous violent career criminals. (Note that the Useful Crisis of Covid was also used to make the Democrats' preferred form of voting -- fraudulent voting -- the rule in the nation.)
And six women were butchered.
Do we give her an Independent Spirit Award now or do we wait to see how many more murders are linked to this guy?
Meanwhile, a Soros DA in Alameda County, California is subject to a recall campaign, due to her refusal to lock up criminals.
She gave a rare interview to protest this.
She says the victims of the violent felons she frees just aren't appreciative enough of the "restorative justice" she's doing by setting killers free to kill more citizens.
YU: Family members of victims are saying that the decisions you have made are unfair to them, that sentences that criminals have been given are excessively lenient, and the perpetrators are favored over victims. What's your response to that?
PRICE: I feel ... definitely my heart goes out to the people who have lost loved ones in this community. Who is ... we at the District Attorney's office are very very committed to making sure that we're providing the best services. Some people are ... are not able to actually appreciate the work that we do.
Yeah, when your child has been murdered it's hard to appreciate the Soros DA who allowed your child's murderer on the streets.
Her PR person stopped the interview early. When the interviewer said she hoped she would make herself available for future interviews, she laughed and said, "I don't think so."
