Missouri Governor Grants Pardons at Record Pace

Associated Press: “For a dozen years as a rural sheriff, Mike Parson was the face of justice, the man ultimately responsible for catching and locking up local lawbreakers. Now governor, Parson also has become the face of mercy by pardoning more than 600 people in the past three years.”

“It coincides with a national movement to restore citizens’ rights and reputations after they have served criminal sentences.”
