Some clemency news and notes from (only) a few states

If there was lots of clemency action in lots of jurisdictions lots of the time, I might not consider a few grants by a few governors to be especially blogworthy.  But clemency action is still all too rare, so it notable to see clemency stories from a few states in one week:

From Florida, "Florida governor pushes through pardon for COVID-19 rule breakers"

From Kansas, "Kansas governor grants clemency to 8, embracing ‘political risk’ in rare use of power"

From Oregon, "Gov. Kate Brown commutes sentences of 41 inmates who helped battle historic wildfires"
