A convicted crack dealer who left prison early as part of the Obama administration’s mass release of federal inmates has been indicted by a grand jury for fatally stabbing his ex-girlfriend and her two kids in Columbus, Ohio. The gory crime drew national attention because the children, ages 7 and 10, were murdered to eliminate them as witnesses in the brutal massacre of their 32-year-old mother.
This week a grand jury in Franklin County returned a 10-count, death-penalty indictment against the ex-con, 35-year-old Wendell Callahan, for the triple murders. Callahan broke into his ex-girlfriend’s apartment and stabbed the three victims, according to a statement issued by Franklin County Prosecutor Ron O’Brien announcing the indictment. The bloody crime scene was discovered by the woman’s current boyfriend, who subsequently engaged in a fight with Callahan before he fled. The indictment includes charges of aggravated murder with prior calculation and design and aggravated murder of victims under the age of 13. “There are multiple charges regarding the three victim deaths because there are different methods to commit the crime of murder and the Prosecutor’s Office typically charges all methods”, O’Brien stated. Callahan is in jail on $3 million bail and is scheduled to be arraigned later this week.
Callahan should have been in jail when the crimes occurred, but he was released four years early because federal sentencing guidelines for crack dealers got reduced. The change is part of President Obama’s effort to reform the nation’s justice system as a way of ending racial discrimination. The initiative was technically launched back in 2010 when the president signed a measure that for the first time in decades relaxed drug-crime sentences he claimed discriminated against poor and minority offenders. This severely weakened a decades-old law enacted during the infamous crack cocaine epidemic that ravaged urban communities nationwide in the 1980s. As part of the movement the U.S. Sentencing Commission lowered maximum sentences for drug offenders and made it retroactive, leading to the early release of thousands of violent thugs like Callahan.
In November the administration began releasing 6,000 drug convicts coined “non-violent” offenders whose sentences were too long under the old guidelines. News reports quickly surfaced contradicting the administration’s assessment that the newly released convicts were not violent. Among them was the leader of a multi-million dollar operation that smuggled drugs from Canada to Maine. Prosecutors refer to the 29-year-old con as a “drug kingpin” who was one of “America’s Most Wanted.” Shortly before the administration’s mass release of drug convicts, federal prosecutors warned that drug trafficking is inherently violent and therefore the phrase “non-violent drug offenders” is a misnomer. The nation’s prosecutors also cautioned that reducing prison sentences for drug offenders will weaken their ability to bring dangerous drug traffickers to justice.
As if it weren’t bad enough that the administration is rewarding thousands of criminals with get-out-of-jail cards, huge amounts of taxpayer dollars are being spent on programs to help them find housing and jobs. In the aftermath of the mass release of federal prisoners Judicial Watch reported on two “re-entry” programs to ease the transition from jail. One received $1.7 million and ordered public housing facilities not to reject tenants with criminal records. The other allocated $20 million to the Department of Labor (DOL) to help ex-cons find work and thus end the “cycle of poverty, criminality and incarceration.”
A war against crime can never be won if authorities have to keep catching those that a monstrous Obama releases!
What more proof is needed to show that the foreigner, Obama is no clown, he is intentionally doing whatever he can to harm Americans and 'fundamentally' change who we are, and his efforts are accelerating in his last days in office. He deserves his place in history to be locked up with all of those he claims are 'innocents' wrongly convicted and imprisoned, FOR LIFE!
The penalty for dealing in drugs should be death. This is the ONLY way drug addiction in America can be eliminated.
I got the outrage...
“Impeachment” in the title is pure click bait...
By all means with three weeks to go, let’s impeach???
So sacrificing a mother and two children on the altar of political correctness was a good trade off in his mind, even if the mother and children were also black.
But he said these were NON-VIOLENT drug dealers, as if any drug dealer kept his customers all up on their payments without thuggish enforcement.
Imprison for life. Forfeiture of all pay and allowances.
Heeeer's Wendell!
He lied.
Of little concern to Obama Muslim faggot. We knew this would happen, not to him and his bitches but to the defenseless. He knew it and we the people knew it. The disruption of the lives of the serfs is of no consequence.
And Obama was too busy golfing to comment.
This is the Willie Horton ad we need to run against the Dems for the next two cycles.
I live in central Ohio and I rarely watch local news and do not subscribe to the dispatch. So I was curious to read how this early release was presented to readers. No direct mention of Obamas early release program, but described as a “federal” program.
I feel more outrage at the Republicans who didn’t have the backbone to impeach this reprehensible excuse of a president.
Heck of a job there Bammy.
Then possibly we should be more inclusive.........”liberalism which is creating federal law lets crack dealer out of prison early”
Just because a person is set to leave office soon, or even after they leave office, they can be “impeached”. The word simply means ‘accuse’. The impeachment is done in The House, The ‘trial’ is done in the Senate. He could be stripped of all privileges of his office including his pension.............
I hope some resource is listing then tracking all of Zero’s pardons, and will do a web announcement every time one of them commits another crime.
And I hope a class action lawsuit group forms, from victims of crimes committed by the a pardoned after their pardon, to sue Zero for all he’s worth.
Perhaps President Trump should put an end to this totally stupid practice of freeing jury convicted criminals.
In this case doing “nothing” would be a good thing. The exception to my tag line.
I recall hearing this on the news last, er, never.
