A Nevada Judge is in trouble for telling giving convicts probation and then telling them to Vote for Trump.
At a July 18 sentencing hearing, Johnson told defendant Gregory Galazin, who was pleading guilty to battery with use of a deadly weapon, that she would suspend a minimum term of 28 months in state prison and allow him to serve probation for two years instead. If he followed the terms and conditions of his probation — including paying restitution to the victim, avoiding all alcohol or marijuana and maintaining full time employment — he could be honorably discharged and able to vote in “plenty of time” for the 2020 election.
“That way your civil rights would be restored and you would have plenty of time to vote for Mr. Trump on the next election, okay?” Johnson said, according to court transcripts.
Under Nevada law, people convicted of a violent felony are prohibited from voting and have to receive court permission for voting rights to be restored. Other felons can have their voting rights restored automatically upon release from prison or an honorable discharge from parole or probation.
Is…. Is she letting violent people off with a lighter sentence in exchange for voting for Trump?....
