Trump Commutes Life Sentence of Gangster Disciples Founder Larry Hoover
President Trump commuted the federal life sentences of Larry Hoover, the Chicago gang leader convicted of running the Gangster Disciples from prison, though Hoover still faces over 100 years on Illinois state murder charges. The move may lead to his transfer out of a supermax prison, but does not erase his state sentences. Hoover's case has garnered significant attention, including from celebrities like Kanye West, and highlights ongoing issues with gang violence and criminal justice reform.
