Anyone committing murder should get prosecuted. The lower level people I was referring to are those that have committed crimes of 'silence' or forced abetting of crimes and maybe lower end fraud.  Scenario: If you were working for the FBI or an aid to a congressman for 10 to 20 or more years and then asked to do something against your moral code, you didn't want to lose your job and be blackballed for some wrongdoing if you spoke up about it. These people deserve a break. I am not talking about murderers or outright flagrant criminals. There are many people who were 'forced' into these positions with outright threats to their lives if they spoke up. These people deserve amnesty.
