Freed con loves her ‘commute’

Alice Johnson, the woman sentenced to life in prison before being freed by President Trump in 2018, praised his compassion in an emotional speech Thursday.

“I was once told that the only way I would be reunited with my family was as a corpse,” Johnson said on the final night of the Republican convention.

“But through the grace of God and the love and compassion of President Donald John Trump, I stand before you tonight and I assure you, I am not a ghost. I am alive, I am whole and, most importantly, I am free,” she continued.

In 1997, Johnson, 65, was sentenced to life in prison with no parole as a first-time, nonviolent offender for her role in a large cocaine-dealing ring.

She spent 22 years in jail and unsuccessfully appealed the ObamaBiden administration to commute her sentence before reality-TV star Kim Kardashian became interested in her case.

Kardashian lobbied Trump to free Johnson, and he officially commuted her sentence.

“What I did was wrong, I made decisions that I regret. They say you do the crime, you do the time. However, that time should be fair and just. We all make mistakes — none of us want to be defined forever based on our worst decision,” Johnson continued on Thursday.

“When President Trump heard about me and the injustice of my story, he saw me as a person. He had compassion,” she said.

Trump spoke about Johnson in his 2019 State of the Union Address, saying he had been “deeply moved” by her story.

The mom-of-six has now become a criminal-justice advocate and the face of the Trump administration’s sentencing reforms.
