Phil Mickelson sends a strong message on the US justice system
Earlier this week, a fan page named Defiant L’s shared a video of Stephen Federico from the courtroom in which he slammed the lawmakers. Federico's 22-year-old daughter, Logan, was reportedly killed by Alexander Dickey, who already had previous criminal charges against him.
In a hearing at the House Judiciary Committee, Mr. Federico opened up about lawmakers and talked about the soft-on-crime policy.
"The soft on crime stuff has to stop. We have to be able to keep career criminals in prisons. We need more prisons, we need more mental institutions, we need more mental health," Federico said, via FOX News.
Defiant L shared the video on X with a caption:
"Father of 22-year-old woman who was brutally killed by a career criminal, SLAMS soft-on-crime policies, He "was arrested 39 godd*mn times, 25 felonies, was on the street..."
Phil Mickelson reacted to it with a message for the US justice system. He wrote:
"The judge(s) who let this person go should be held accountable and in jail."
