Another round-up of clemency news and notes
I will here continue rounding up of some clemency news and commentary from a little Google news searching. Once again, here I will provided the jurisdiction, headline and link:
-
Federal: "Trump’s Super Bowl Commercial Features Alice Johnson Discussing Her Clemency"
-
Florida: "Florida Clemency Panel Gives Felons Path to Regain Vote"
-
Louisiana: "Will Gov. John Bel Edwards ramp up use of clemency power as part of criminal justice reform efforts?"
-
Michigan: "Michigan inmate serving 60-year sentence for selling weed requests clemency"
-
Mississippi: "Granting Clemency One Solution to Mississippi Prison Crisis"
-
Ohio: "Governor DeWine grants pardon to Columbus man, 31 years after crimes"
UPDATE: The Washington Post has this long new article about the federal clemency power headlined "Most Trump clemency grants bypass DOJ and go to well-connected offenders." It gets into the nitty-gritty of the federal clemency process.
