Alton Mills, 54, a former crack cocaine dealer whose life sentence was commuted by Obama in 2015 has now been charged with attempted murder after allegedly shooting a woman in a Chicago expressway.

Mills was charged with three different attempted murder charges after he allegedly shot a woman passenger in a car traveling on the I-57 on-ramp in Illinois.

The woman who was shot is in severe condition and law enforcement officers have already declared her brain dead.

Mills previously served a 22-year sentence on crack cocaine conspiracy charges but was granted clemency by Obama in 2015.

7 years after Obama commuted Alton Mills' life sentence, the 54-year-old is now accused of shooting a woman on an expressway in Chicago this week.

Per NBC 5 Chicago:

A suburban man whose federal life sentence was commuted by then-President Obama in 2015 has been charged with three counts of attempted murder in connection with a recent shooting on Interstate 57.

Alton Mills, 54, of Evergreen Park, is being held without bond at the Cook County Jail, Illinois State Police said in a news release on Friday. Mills was arrested for a shooting that occurred on Sunday near the I-57 northbound entrance ramp from 147th Street in Posen, according to authorities.

Multiple shots were fired into the victim’s vehicle from the suspect’s vehicle, striking the back seat passenger, according to police. That person was taken to an area hospital with life-threatening injuries.

After he was commuted by Obama, Mills took a trip to the Capitol and was treated like a celebrity

Democrat Senator Elizabeth Warren even wrote a long paragraph celebrating his release and touted him as a non-violent criminal.

LOOK:

Obama and every other Democrat that cheerleaded for Mills to be released have not released any statements regarding the violent crime.

The Biden regime is asking for prison time and a $25,000 fine for January 6 political prisoner Richard Bigo Barnett after he posted a tweet accusing police of “attacking, injuring and murdering innocent protesters” on January 6.

Richard Barnett sat in Nancy Pelosi’s office and put his feet up on a desk in a staged photo for a photographer.

Barnett did not commit any violence that day.

Barnett was convicted on ALL CHARGES in a DC Kangaroo Court in January.

Now the regime wants to give him more prison time after he posted a tweet accusing police of violence that day.

You must never question or expose the sins of the regime.

The Gateway Pundit has provided ample proof of historic police abuse that day. Earlier this week writer Alicia Powe posted exclusive video from J6 attorneys on how the DC police launched an attack on innocent protesters and ignited the riots.

Barnett is right.

4029TV reported:

Defense attorneys are asking a judge to hand down a sentence without prison time to an Arkansas man to time served for his role in the riots at the U.S. Capitol that interrupted the counting of electoral votes on Jan. 6, 2021.

A jury convicted Richard Barnett, 62, of Gravette, Arkansas, of obstruction of an official proceeding, theft of government property, and entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds with a deadly or dangerous weapon.

Barnett’s defense is asking that he serve no additional time behind bar, or for confinement of no more than six months. Their memorandum also asks for two years probation, 100 hours of community service and $500 restitution.

The defense included letters from friends, neighbors and family members vouching for Barnett’s character…

The DOJ prosecution is asking for prison time and a $25,000 fine because Barnett after he posted an honest tweet about his recollection of the day.

Prosecutors filed their sentencing recommendation Wednesday.

“The need for the sentence to provide specific deterrence to this particular defendant also weighs heavily in favor of a lengthy term of incarceration,” the document stated.

It said Barnett’s tweet, in which he wrote the worst thing he did was yell “at cops who were attacking, injuring and murdering innocent protestors” after the trial, showed a lack of remorse.

In addition to the prison time, it also asks the court to impose three years of supervised release, a $25,000 fine, $2,000 in restitution and a mandatory special assessment of $455.

The defense disagreed that this would be fair.
