NEW: Stories about pardons are often about presidential power. But what about people on the other side of that grace? The Coulson family may never receive millions from a wrongful death lawsuit it won years ago. @jeremykohler.bsky.social

Analysis Summary
Trump pardoned nursing home owner Joseph Schwartz in a federal tax case, but Schwartz had been ordered to pay $19 million in a wrongful death judgment to the family of Doris Coulson, a nurse who died at one of his facilities after staff ignored medical restrictions on her diet. The Coulson family has never received the judgmentβ€”Doris's daughter Amanda has since diedβ€”and the pardon makes collection even less likely. Schwartz paid over $1 million to lobbyists to secure the pardon and reportedly still has $58 million in assets, though none in his own name, while the family he owed money to has nothing.
