Pardoned by two/three people listed immediately below:

Governor Tim Walz
Attorney General Keith Ellison
Justice Natalie Hudson

(Last one is Chief Justice of the Minnesota Supreme Court. Gonna guess it's the title rather than the person who is on this committee.)

The Minnesota Board of Pardons (Board), which consists of the Governor, the Minnesota Attorney General, and the Chief Justice of the Minnesota Supreme Court, may grant a pardon or commutation to individuals who meet basic eligibility requirements set forth in state law. To receive a pardon or commutation, the Governor and at least one other Board member must vote in favor of clemency. The Board holds at least two public meetings each year to consider and vote on eligible clemency applications.

Well, surely some low-level crime and he's now turned his life around; right? Sure crazy as batshite Jazzhands Walz spent a lot of time on this, right?

The United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released the following statement condemning Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and his fellow sanctuary politicians after they granted a pardon for an illegal alien who had been convicted of repeatedly sexually assaulting a 10-year-old girl.

------------------------------------------

According to court filings, Vang repeatedly sexually assaulted a girl between 2002 and 2004. On one occasion, he tried to offer his victim $10 to keep quiet about the sexual assaults. While being interviewed by police, he tried to justify his actions by saying that for him “it is a cultural thing...to marry and have sex with girls as young as 12.” He also claimed that the victim was just as guilty as him and should also be arrested.

Oh well. Diversity is our strength, ya know.

Imagine this guy just a (Kamehameha) heartbeat away from the Presidency.


And finally, some kinda sorta off-topic general trivia: got onto the MN Supremes when former Viking and Bear Alan Page retired.
