North Carolina Pardoning System Protects Innocent
North Carolina maintains a broad pardoning process allowing an accused person a chance to prove innocence. Pardon Commissioner Hoyle Sink found Mansel's guilt not conclusively proven and recommended commuting the death sentence to life to enable future evidence review. The system, along with Supreme Court review, aims to guard against mistaken identity in serious cases.
