Missouri governor pardons 24, commutes the sentences of four offenders

JEFFERSON CITY — Republican Gov. Mike Parson granted his first pardons Monday, saying this is the time of year for forgiveness. But he did not release the names of the 24 individuals who were pardoned, nor did he name four people whose sentences he commuted in the days running up to the Christmas holiday, saying it was a matter of privacy. “There must be serious consequences for criminal behavior, but when individuals demonstrate a changed lifestyle and a commitment to abandoning the ways of their past, they should be able to redeem themselves in the eyes of the law,” Parson said. “If we are to be a society that believes in forgiveness and second chances, then it is the next chapter in these individuals’ lives that will matter most.”
