From the Left
AllSides Media Bias Rating: Lean Left
The man who opened fire in a classroom at Virginia's Old Dominion University completed a drug treatment program that allowed him early release from federal prison, even though he was convicted of a terrorism charge that should have disqualified him from that benefit.
Mohamed Bailor Jalloh was sentenced to 11 years in prison after pleading guilty in 2017 to providing material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization, the Islamic State group, and was released about 2Β½ years early, according to prison records.
