Re: April 11 editorial.
Kudos to The Denver Post for your spot-on editorial about Rene Lima-Marin. I have been following this story since Kevin Simpson wrote about it and was shocked at the unfair 98-year sentence these teenagers received for armed robbery. Murderers and rapists receive fewer years behind bars.
That being said, who could not be impressed with the way Lima-Marin rehabilitated himself after he was mistakenly released? Isn’t that the goal after being in prison? It is so unfair that he was returned to jail — but, to his credit, he did not try to flee. His story is inspiring and triumphant but heartbreaking.
I sincerely hope our governor will do the humane thing and grant him clemency. Then justice will truly be served.
