Behind-the-scenes look at pardon deserves Pulitzer | READER COMMENTARY

After a series of events in which the head of Marvel Entertainment interjected, West Baltimore resident Kevin Moses looks at his older brother Jawad Amir Musa, who reacts regarding the commutation of his life sentence for a non-violent drug conviction Friday, Jan. 22, 2021.

Justin Fenton deserves a Pulitzer Prize for the way he wove together the lives, careers, hopes and dreams of so many people in writing “How the head of Marvel Entertainment and a headstrong lawyer quietly convinced Donald Trump to free a West Baltimore man” (Jan. 27).

The Baltimore Sun, too, is to be thanked for giving it the space it deserves, the front page and two more full pages. Mr. Fenton’s writing is gripping. The time and behind-the-scenes work that he put into it does not go unnoticed. His commentary along the way is insightful. His descriptions of President Donald Trump a welcome relief from what I usually read in this paper.
