Nevada pardons board to consider posthumous pardons after 6-year freeze
Fox News
Nevada's pardons board has decided to resume considering posthumous pardon requests after a six-year hiatus, with certain restrictions in place.
The board consists of Republican Gov. Joe Lombardo, Democratic state Attorney General Aaron Ford and the state's Supreme Court justices.
Chief Justice Lidia Stiglich said Wednesday that she brought the matter before the board, in part, because of Tonja Brown, an advocate for prisoners who routinely speaks at meetings to bring attention to her late brother's case.
"At the very least," Stiglich said, Brown’s "tenacity deserves a discussion about whether or not we’re going to hear" posthumous cases.
