Demaryius Thomas mom gets sentence commuted by Obama(release date nov 10)

[Tony D'Amato]

hope she can turn her life back around, I was glad to hear about these commutations by Obama, hopefully it is a start in the right direction to the end of the drug war

Not as long as incarceration is a for profit industry.

President Barack Obama commuted the prison sentences of 46 nonviolent drug offenders Monday, including Katina Smith, the mother of Denver Broncos wide receiver Demaryius Thomas.

Obama's sentence reductions included those of 14 people who were sentenced to life in prison, saying "their punishments didn't fit the crime." The 46 sentences are the largest number of sentences commuted by a president since the 1960s.

Katina Smith and Thomas' maternal grandmother, Minnie Pearl, were arrested in 1999 for narcotics trafficking. Both had been in prison since Demaryius Thomas was 11 years old. Smith was scheduled to be released in 2017. Minnie Thomas received a life sentence for that crime and remains in prison.

I read her story in ESPN the magazine I believe it was...sad event.

She was really ride or die for her mother (DT grandmother) and wouldn't snitch to give her less years. Strong woman who did what she had to for her kids and stood by her actions, faced the repercussions with no hesitation to throw her family under the bus to help herself.

Yeah she was loyal as fukk to DT's grandmother. Wouldn't snitch, said i'd rather do the time than rat on my own mother. She a real one, but too bad the kids had to suffer.

So grandma didnt force her daughter to snitch so those babies could grow up with their mother around? What I would have done.

Gotta look at the big picture.
