Original Note:
POTUS can only pardon federal convictions, not state level convictions. The Governor of MO (R) could have issued a pardon but chose not to, even in light of wrong DNA evidence and witnesses that benefitted from blaming someone as well as a jury not of his peers. https://www.justice.gov/pardon/frequently-asked-questions#:~:text=Does%2520the%2520President%2520have%2520authority,%253A%2520%E2%80%9CThe%2520President%2520.%2520.%2520.
