California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Friday pardoned a former inmate who received a life sentence when she was a teenager for killing her former pimp.
Since the slaying, he said she "has transformed her life and dedicated herself to community service." The pardon, Newsom said, does not minimize her crime or the damage it caused, but "it does recognize the work she has done since to transform herself."A pardon does not expunge or erase a conviction, the governor’s office said, but can help blunt the lingering impact on the recipient’s life.
The commutations give the inmates the chance to appear before a parole board that will decide if they are suitable for release. In his pardon application, Pachnowski said he was having consensual "intimacy" with a another man in a car in a deserted industrial area when they were caught by a security guard who "said we had gone against God and nature." He said he pleaded guilty to avoid prosecution on a more serious charge of "sex perversion."
