so, adrian peeler went to their home and shot them both.iden thought was worthy of a pardon and then there is the waverly two. claiborne and richardson. biden granted them clemency despite their being linked to the murder of allen gibson. shot with his own break up suspected drug deal. bledding to the lesser charge of involuntary manslaughter drug traffic charges. joining me now jason my are a reds. mr. attorney general thank you for joining us democrats will argue here that you can't compare apples to oranges but that in the case of the waverly two. they were acquitted complicated story but is that writing an injustice? >> the injustice is what happened to allen gibson. one of those quiet heros that governor youngkin and i talk about. they put on the badge and protect our society. left behind, went to work that day in 1998, his wife and young daughter and he is stumbled upon drug dealer as you noted. there was a struggle. they shot an officer gibson and organned his daughter as a result. yes, richardson pled guilty to manslaughter. claibor

the fact that adrian peeler was commuted, sentence by president biden is described as a mischaracterization justice. you know the case well begun any indication from anyone to the biden administration why it's been commuted and will be out this summer? >> i have no explanation for the decision in that case was appalling to me. i was attorney general of the state of connecticut at the time that adrian was convicted of murdering a witness, an 8-year-old boy who is about to testify in a drug case. it was a missed character of justice and frankly as appalling to me as the pardons for 1500 rioters who assaulted brutally causing serious injuries and some deaths to police. that decision by president trump i think was equally if not more appalling to me. but the point here is that there been mistakes on both side democrat, republican presidents. these decisions are made in the shadows where there is a black box no one knows why that decision was made. many of these parting decisions really cry out for more accountability and transparency. that is why i have introduced a bill it is called bardic tra

nobody knows why that decision on adrian peeler was made and many of these pardon decisions really crye accountability and transparency that's five introduced a bill -- why i've introduced a bill pardon transparency accountability act that would have guardrails and requiring justice impact statement notification of the victim and prosecutor so they can express their opinion and explanation required, disclosure of any lobbying that has occurred in connection with that pardon decision. as you know, that pardon power is absolute. it's one of those where powers that has no checks or balances. the founders incorporate it from the english monarchy and really to establish safeguards and guardrails we need constitutional memo. >> so to be clear none of the 1500 jay six people were charged with killing an officer. but so we are clear. there is also the issue of president biden's pardons on his family members minutes before the swearing in. jonathan writes about that and he says its because he fears the vary law a he invented. it worked at biden's benefit as the recipients are leslie to disclose

prosecutors say they were killed by adrian peerl so they would not be able to testify against peeler'serous gang leaders in the city's cocaine trade. adrian served 25 years for conspiracy in the deaths and is now serving a 35-year federal sentence on drug charges, but that's now been cut short by biden. one of the lead supervising fbi agents who locked peeler up, calls the clemency a betrayal of the vix and of the country's criminal justice system. >> it's disgusting. it's not, it's not the way it was supposed to be. i mean, we made assurances to people that this guy was going to be locked up basically for the rest of his life, and now we have to go back to these people and explain a what happened. andi'm sure there's people that are concerned that this kid's back out on the street. >> reporter: biden said he was commuting sentences for nonviolent drug offenders, but peeler's release has promised democratic senator richard blumenthal and others to call for a review of the presidential pardon process saying, quote, it seems to me that someone dropped the ball here to let this person be
