[QUOTE="Cirrus, post: 178849, member: 10493"] This is nothing new. Cuomo appears to use the pardon power a lot. Looking at the current list of pardons, if you read through their convictions, their time served relative to their sentences, and what they have actually done to rehabilitate themselves, there is a case to be made for the pardons and commuted sentences. Some people deserve second chances while others deserve to rot behind bars. I'm not seeing any clear "rot behind bars" people in this group of pardons. Many of the crimes happened when they were just kids. Then, there's the other side of the coin: if I were a family member of someone who was robbed or murdered, I would likely not be too happy about the pardon. I'd have to dig really deep to forgive. I'd have to see first-hand that this person really has "changed" before I'd think about forgiveness. The Republican governor of my state, Massachusetts, [URL='https://www.salemnews.com/news/local_news/baker-administration-reluctant-to-issue-pardons/article_833e85fb-5cac-55e5-bc2a-a26f6a3253ce.html']has not allowed any pardons or commuted sentences during his term and his Democratic predecessor only allowed a handful over an 8 year term.[/URL] I'd rather governors be stingy with pardons and commuted sentences... they should only be granted to the truly worthy.
