Kim Kardashian deserves 'enormous credit' for the release of prisoner Dawn Jackson, says New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy.
On Monday, Dec. 16, New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy will announce he is commuting the sentence of Dawn Jackson, 53, who was imprisoned for 30 years for the 1999 fatal stabbing of her step-grandfather Robert McBride after years of sexual abuse.Incarcerated at Edna Mahan Correctional Facility For Women in Hunterdon, N.J., for the past 25 years, Jackson, who first submitted a clemency application in 2018, will walk out this week a free woman.
“I said ‘Erin, we have to help this woman.’ She suffered so much abuse — from the time she was a baby. You think about how we want to protect our kids and to think that no one was there to protect her. None of that was allowed." Murphy told Jackson the good news on Friday, Dec. 13 — she’s one of 36 individuals who are being granted clemency — and called it, “probably the most emotional moment of my seven years as Governor. She’s lived a hard life. She’s endured unimaginable trauma, sexual abuse, dating way back to when she was a kid. The sentence was too harsh — and if that wasn’t enough she’s taken accountability and she’s a model citizen and I agree completely with Kim.
“Kim knows this but not everyone believes in second chances,” Murphy adds. “And frankly, I think we’re a nation that‘s built on giving people second chances — and at the end of the day, that’s what this is about.”
