@RM
Many years ago, when Ron Desantis became Governor, my mother was obsessed with him. She told me he was a nice man and that I should write him a letter to pardon me. I had to explain this to my mother and here is what I said to her, bless her heart.

“Mom, their ain’t a dog’s chance in Hell he would pardon a person convicted of a sex offense”.

That is very telling.
