From Wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcia_FudgeIn 2015, Fudge wrote a letter asking for leniency in the sentencing of Cleveland politician Lance Mason on felony assault and domestic violence charges.[50] Fudge described Mason as "kind", and wrote that "Lance [...] has assured me that something like this will never happen again."[50] Mason subsequently attacked and killed his ex-wife, in 2018, stabbing her 59 times.[51] After the murder, Fudge released a statement saying she condemned the crimes committed by Mason.
