Yes, I was also very happily surprised to hear that. There's just so much more coverage about all the cynical pardons. I'm hoping there were more truly deserving pardons than just these two. I know Biden did something for non-violent drug offenders, but I think I heard that a bunch of those people were already out.

Probably one of the best pardons to come out of Biden, TBH.
