Good analysis of strange argument made by those who disagree with Ohio Parole Board Recommending clemency in a case that ended up with co-conspirators getting radically different sentences. Jason Getsy case.

These reports list every individual act of clemency by each president and often contain a word of explanation - by the president or the attorney general. The reports reveal that clemency was commonly extended to individuals because their individual sentences were out of line with (or disproportionate with) the individual sentences of co-defendants in the <EM>same case</EM>. That is to say, presidents haven't ever accepted the odd, theoretical restriction discussed above and neither should Governor Strickland.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://pardonpower.com/2009/07/ohio-disparate-sentencing-and-pardon.html"><H3 class="post-title">
