CLARIFICATION: Rav Hershel Schachter, rosh yeshiva at Yeshiva Rabbeinu Yitzchok Elchonon (RIETS) of Yeshiva University, releases video stating that although his signature appears on a letter to NY Governor Kathy Hochul asking for clemency for Nechemya Weberman, a convicted child abuser, he retracted that signature because he was not told the full story, and says he should remain in prison.

Please call him and tell him that he needs to do full teshuva by attending resentencing December 2nd and telling the judge that he retracts his support and thinks that Weberman should keep his 50 year sentence.
Unfortunately some are trusting a מחללת שבת over a frum yid.
WayWrong,
If she doesn’t keep Shabbos might it possibly have something to do with what monster Weberman was convicted of doing to her?
