Forgive me for being cynical, but I will care more when conservative Republicans pardon or commute the sentences of over sentenced individuals currently in their system rather than trying to show what a racially Progressive person they are for taking the no-brain step of pardoning the most grotesque and obvious travesties of Justice committed several decades earlier.
Florida's Executive Clemency process is limited, and must be done by a vote of the Florida Cabinet.
Florida imposed a point system in sentencing in 1983 to deal with oversentencing and sentencing disparities, but the Legislature has undid this in various steps since then. Florida is also one of the most over-criminalized states with civil matters becoming misdemeanors and misdemeanors becoming felonies.
Man if only the Republicans had controlled the state for the past 20 years so they could do something to change this!
