Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin has granted clemency to a fired police sergeant who shot and killed an unarmed man accused of stealing sunglasses. Former Fairfax County police Sgt. Wesley Shifflett was sentenced to three years in prison on Friday after he was convicted of recklessly handling a firearm during the 2023 foot chase and shooting of Timothy McCree Johnson. Youngkin said in a statement Sunday that he was convinced the court’s sentence of incarceration was unjust and violated the notion that similarly situated people should receive proportionate sentences.
VA Constiturion only allows the governor to serve for a single 4-year term. The question is, will the rural parts of the State manage to elect another self-serving, brain damaged republican again.
