Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin and Attorney General Jason Miyares have condemned President Biden's decision to grant clemency to Ferrone Claiborne and Terrence Richardson, known as the 'Waverly Two'. These men were convicted for their roles in the 1998 killing of Officer Allen Gibson in Sussex County. Youngkin described the clemency as an outrageous decision, asserting that the killers should remain incarcerated. Miyares echoed this sentiment, stating that the decision undermines the justice system and the memory of Officer Gibson. The clemency has sparked significant backlash from state officials, with calls for accountability and further action against the two men.
