No, We Have to Put Her Through Hell First

I'm not sure what Christie's legal options are prior to a verdict, but he could certainly use his bully pulpit to condemn the prosecution and New Jersey gun laws, and pledge to work toward their repeal. [More]

Not that he will.  At heart, he's always been a gungrabber.

What I see as a likely outcome will be for him to commute her sentence afterward, like he did for Brian Aitken.  As we've noted before, that's not the same as a full pardon, so she'll still be a "prohibited person," and "legally" disarmed for the rest of her life by "public servants," whose prime directive is "to secure the Blessings of Liberty," and who are themselves well taken care of.
