- 📜 A presidential pardon has been granted to two South Florida shark divers.
- ⚖️ The divers were convicted of theft for freeing 19 sharks and a giant grouper from a fisherman's longline.
Journey to Pardon
- 💡 The divers felt they were living in an "alternate universe" due to their conviction and subsequent appeals.
- ✍️ A scathing opinion from Judge LGOA made them feel "seen" and validated their sense of injustice.
- 🚀 This led to a "snowball effect" that eventually resulted in the pardon.
Legal Process and Awareness
- 🏛️ The divers had filed paperwork to take their case to the Supreme Court the same day they received the pardon.
- 🎣 The speaker, a former commercial fisherman, stated they would not have touched a legal line if they had known it was a legal boundary.
- 🦈 They believe information about the existence of legal shark lines on federal permits is not widely known by the public.
