46 Commutation Recommendations for PA Criminals
Washington, D.C. – In case you missed it, John Fetterman wants to reduce jail time for murders and eliminate life sentences for criminals.
As the Philadelphia Inquirer previously pointed out, recommendations for commutations of life sentences skyrocketed since Fetterman assumed office in January 2019. From March 2019 through April 2022, the board sent at least 46 commutation recommendations.
According to Breitbart, the Fetterman-led Board of Pardons sent four times the number of recommendations in the past three years than it sent to Pennsylvania governors in the previous 16 years combined. Not only has Fetterman headed the most radical board in the Keystone State’s recent history, but he has also been the most radical voting record of the five members.
As reported by Breitbart, PA approved commutations of thirteen individuals who were convicted on murder charges, all of which were recommended under the direction of Fetterman’s Board of Pardons:
- George W. Burkhardt, 83, Lancaster, served 30 years for Murder 2, recommended in Dec. 2020
- Daniel Cummings, 75, Philadelphia, served 38 years for Murder 1, recommended in Sept. 2020
- Eric I. Eisen, 52, Allegheny, served 26 years for Murder 2, recommended in Dec. 2020
- Reid Evans, 57, Philadelphia, served 39 years for Murder 2, recommended in Sept. 2020
- Wyatt Evans, 58, Philadelphia, served 39 years for Murder 2, recommended in Sept. 2020
- Charlie J. Goldblum, 71, Allegheny, served 42 years for Murder 1, recommended in Sept. 2019
- Charles M. Haas, 72, Philadelphia, served 41 years for Murder 2, recommended in Dec. 2020
- Dennis Horton, 51, Philadelphia, served 27 years for Murder 2, recommended in Dec. 2020
- Lee A. Horton, 55, Philadelphia, served 27 years from Murder 2, recommended in Dec. 2020
