John Dougherty is an icon of Democratic politics in Philadelphia and Pennsylvania. Donald Trump is a Republican,&#8221; Bochetto said. &#8220;The president has risen above partisan politics and recognized the need and the compassion that this case presented and commuted John&#8217;s sentence so he can return home and take care of his wife.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Prosecutors had opposed Dougherty&#8217;s request, saying they did not believe he had served enough of his sentence to merit
