Pardons other crimes? Sure. Why not. Trump: In for a penny; in for Putin. More thugs on the street would be useful.

Twist-o’-the-Knife Follow-up from CNN: A sheriff’s deputy in northwestern Indiana will not face charges in the fatal shooting during a traffic stop of a man who days earlier had been pardoned by President Donald Trump for a misdemeanor related to the 2021 US Capitol riot.

The Jasper County deputy was “legally justified in using deadly force to defend himself” in the January 26 killing of Matthew Huttle, the Clinton County prosecutor’s office said in a release.

The deputy had stopped Huttle, 42, of Hobart for driving 70 mph in a 55 mph zone. When informed that he was under arrest for being a habitual traffic violator, Huttle ran back to the driver’s seat of his vehicle and “reached in a manner consistent with retrieving a weapon,” prosecutors said Thursday.

Huttle and the deputy then struggled. The deputy fired multiple shots after seeing Huttle raise a firearm while stating “I’m shooting myself,” according to prosecutors.

Investigators found a loaded 9mm handgun and additional ammunition inside Huttle’s vehicle. Police dash camera video also confirmed Huttle raised “an object” while inside the vehicle.
