A former Los Angeles gangster and convicted criminal, Jarad Nava, who served time for attempted murder, now works at the California State Capitol in Sacramento.
California Governor Gavin Newsom commuted Nava’s sentence to eight years, a small fraction of his original 162-year sentence.
“To read a report about somebody, to see a ridiculous overcharging, to consider his age in relationship to that crime, to take a risk on a commutation…and then to see him all dressed up, so proud that he has a job,” the governor said. (Trending: US Troops Deliver Devastating Blow to Biden)

Nava’s employment at the Capitol has sparked controversy, as one of his victims remains paralyzed as a result of the shooting.
The case reflects California’s efforts to address prison overcrowding and the challenges of reintegrating former inmates.
