Our takeaway:

We’re always happy to see presidents and governors use their clemency authority, and we share in the joy of all those who benefited today. We’re especially happy to see mercy granted to those whose stories we’ve highlighted, including...
Chris Young, who was featured in our documentary, The Vanishing Trial, John Knock, and Jodi Richter. They all deserve second chances.

We remain concerned that the current clemency process further undermines public confidence in the justice system.
Too many people believe they need to know a celebrity or pay a well-connected lobbyist to have their petitions heard. We urge President-elect Biden to create a fairer clemency process – and to use his authority more aggressively. /end
