Former gang member and convicted mass shooter Jarad Nava was released by Gov. Gavin Newsom after serving only eight years of his life sentence.
Nava, who was involved in a gang-related shootout and convicted of four counts of attempted murder, was given a job in the California State Capitol.
Despite the severity of his crimes, a Los Angeles Times article portrayed Nava as a reformed individual with a troubled upbringing. (Trending: Chilling Surveillance Program Under Biden Exposed)

“Nava said he doesn’t remember much of what happened when the white truck he was riding in swerved into the opposite lane and pulled alongside a Lexus sedan carrying what he thought were his enemies,” wrote Hannah Wiley from the LA Times.
“In order to protect myself, I felt like the more I perpetrated violence on others, the safer I would be,” Nova reportedly recalled.
According to The Times, “Nava said he doesn’t remember much of what happened when the white truck he was riding in swerved into the opposite lane and pulled alongside a Lexus sedan carrying what he thought were his enemies.”
“In order to protect myself, I felt like the more I perpetrated violence on others, the safer I would be,” he told Wiley.
“Nava walked free from California State Prison Solano more than 150 years early on Dec. 22, 2020,” reported the outlet.
Newsom said, “This act of clemency for Mr. Nava does not minimize or forgive his conduct or the harm it caused.”
“It does recognize the work he has done since to transform himself,” he added.
Nava is now reportedly employed by the Senate Public Safety Committee and works towards “modify[ing] the criminal justice system in California to focus on rehabilitation in lieu of lengthy prison terms.”
“I came back and started crying in the office,” claimed Newsom.
“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,” he continued.
“And I remember that meeting because he kept talking about how he felt a sense of responsibility not to screw up. Not for himself, but for others,” said the California governor.
Newsom commuted Nava’s sentence in 2020 and he now works for the Senate Public Safety Committee, focusing on criminal justice system reform.
