      From what I understand, it was a blanket pardon for anyone who met certain criteria, and this judge just happened to meet them.

      Judge had been sent to home arrest as part of COVID efforts to depopulate the prisons of non -violent offenders.

      Biden gave a blanket paradon to many who had been on home arrest without incident since.

      I suspect there’s plenty of awful bastards in the mix who are only known by their local communities for their deeds. This judge isn’t well known outside PA and very few recognize the guys name on sight.
