The jury that heard the three week long case against the disgraced former president convicted him on multiple offenses. He was sentenced to 45 years in prison. Last Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, President Trump announced that he would pardon this notorious narco trafficking Kingpin after just one year serving his 45 year sentence in a federal penitentiary in West Virginia. Hernandez was released from prison yesterday. The unconscionable Hernandez pardon followed another Trump pardon of another notorious narco trafficker. On January 21, 2025, the day after President Trump's inauguration, he pardoned Ross Ulbricht. (01:51–02:07)
