A convicted murderer who executed a teenage girl has been voted onto the police review board of a woke Oregon city — because of the unique “perspective” he brings.
Kyle Hedquist, 47, was reappointed by the City Council in Salem, Ore., to serve on the board that reviews police complaints by a five-to-four vote, despite serving 27 years in prison for murder, the Statesman Journal reported.
The Oregon native was sentenced to life behind bars without parole in 1994 for the killing of 19-year-old Nikki Thrasher, after he led the victim down a remote road and shot her in the back of the head to prevent her from telling people about a recent burglary spree.
But in 2022, he was released, after Oregon’s then-governor, Kate Brown, a Democrat, argued Hedquist “shouldn’t be locked up for life” due to the fact he was 17 when he carried out his brutal crime.
