30 murder cases.
30 yes votes
from Aaron Ford.

As Attorney General, Aaron Ford sits on the board that can cut prison sentences. Thirty times he voted to shorten a sentence, open the door to parole, or end parole supervision for someone convicted of murder. Every vote is on the board's own meeting recordings.

In his own words

Ford's remarks from the bench, with the time stamp in each meeting recording.

Those are mitigating circumstances that give me goosebumps as I sit here.
