More on Pardons
More on the question of pardons from long-time TPM Reader DS …
Just wanted to follow up with you on the issue of pardons. While I cannot speak to the specific pardons Haley Barbour allowed, I agree that there should be more pardons, not less, and that pardons are very difficult to come by.
When I was 17 years old I got into some very serious trouble. I was charged with two non-violent felonies which I plead down to misdemeanors. I served my probation, completed my community service, and paid all fines and restitution, all before I was 19 years old.
