Richard Arthur Morse of Rowley, Mass., who transported a stolen motor vehicle across state lines and was sentenced to five months in jail and four years and seven months probation.

Fred Dale Pitzer of Xenia, Ohio, who transported falsely made securities across state lines and was sentenced to three years imprisonment.

That's a good question. Many States have convicted Felons never able to vote again, does the Presidential Pardon supercede a State Disenfranchisment Law???

actually Turkeys. The race was so close, it was neck and neck. But Bush wanted to show he was a kind and forgiving and pardoned the loser too.

Presidential pardons at this time of year are traditional. From the brief descriptions, and given that these people already paid their restitution, etc. these seem to me to be pretty trivial felony offenses.

What % of those are white collar crimes?
