For decades, our governor's mansion has been served primarily by inmates from the state penal system, almost all murderers, because the experts say people who committed one crime of passion in their life, after they have served 20 years…

I think that really is a technicality. Here, the fact that these people didn't know that these murderers were up for pardons is a substantive problem with how the process worked.

The power of pardon in the state is to give people a second chance who have repented, been rehabilitated and redeemed themselves.

My head of the National Guard might as well have been a Civil War general . . . because he could only find out what [was] going on by sending somebody.
