Rubio: “A Horrible Injustice” to not Pardon Groveland Four

0SHARES

The Groveland Four were wrongly accused of raping a while woman in 1949, and the race is on to speed up the process to pardon them. At the forefront of this concern are Florida Republican lawmakers.

While the Florida legislature had asked for the men to be pardoned, a move has not been made for that to happen and no reason has been given as to why. In turn, several lawmakers have voiced their support in seeing the four men pardoned including the incoming Florida Agriculture Commissioner, Nikki Fried, who is the only Democrat to have won her race for a position in the cabinet.

This week, Senator Marco Rubio also voiced his support by taking to the Senate Floor and calling for the incoming gubernatorial administration and cabinet to ensure that the Groveland Four are pardoned after “a horrible injustice.”
