   California Governor Gavin Newsom announced Thursday he would   
   commute the prison sentence of Rahsaan "New York" Thomas, writer   
   and co-host of the Ear Hustle podcast.   
      
   While serving his prison sentence since 2000, according to the   
   Associated Press, 51-year-old Thomas has contributed to several   
   news outlets and in 2019 became a co-producer and co-host of Ear   
   Hustle, which its website says is the first podcast created and   
   produced in prison. The show tells the stories of those inside   
   California's San Quentin State Prison.   
      
   Thomas was incarcerated after being convicted of second-degree   
   murder. The San Francisco Chronicle reported that while Thomas   
   said he was being robbed and shot the man in self-defense, the   
   Los Angeles County jury rejected that claim, sentencing him to   
   55 years and six months to life.   
      
   The governor's decision means Thomas will go before California's   
   parole board. According to The Associated Press, the board has   
   recommended granting him clemency in the past.   
      
   Overall, Newsom announced 18 commutations, 24 pardons and five   
   reprieves Thursday, according to the AP. In his pardon, Newsom   
   wrote that while Thomas "committed a serious crime that took the   
   life of one victim and injured another," he has since   
   "demonstrated a commitment to his self-improvement and becoming   
   a productive individual" by completing college courses and self-   
   help programs, as well as participating in the podcast.   
      
   The nigger still murdered somebody.
