Newsom pardons Sara Kruzan, imprisoned as a teen for killing man who trafficked her

Was this justified morally? yes, but it’s still murder. It’s not ok to murder someone even if they’re a sex trafficker, becauseit’s still murder, that’s just a bad example to set for future cases of murder. The facts, yes she was trafficked, and she did kill the guy. But did she do it while being trafficked? No. She did it after and therefore is not self defense. Though I do think it is justified what she did, she should not have been pardoned. It’s like shooting a guy a week later because he robbed you. If it had been done at the time it’d be fine legally. Let me again say, I am 100% fine morally with it, but legally no.
