In this post a few days ago, I flagged some notable recent clemency grants by Governors in Arkansas and Colorado and Pennsylvania (while also lamenting that Prez Trump has not followed up a lot of big clemency talk with any big clemency action). With the Christmas holiday nudging every closer, I am not surprised (though still pleased and grateful) that Governors in a few more states are using the ink their clemency pens. Here is another round-up of notable new state clemency stories:
Colorado: "Hickenlooper orders clemency for 33 Colorado offenders, including 7 men convicted of murder"
Michigan: "Gov. Rick Snyder grants clemency to lifer Melissa Chapman, 60 others"
Pennsylvania: "Wolf grants clemency to two more inmates, including one midstate woman"
Tennessee: "Tennessee Governor Granted Clemency To 11 People, Cyntoia Brown Not Included"
Texas: "Christmas clemency: Gov. Greg Abbott pardons six Texans, two for marijuana possession"
