In a surprising decision Missouri Governor Jay Nixon said that he
would not pardon the well-known case of Jeff Mizanskey, who has been
serving a life sentence for marijuana charges.
Nixon did pardon nine other nonviolent offenders last month, but
letting the 61-year-old man who was jailed over charges related to a
natural plant seemed too much to ask the governor.
Mizanskey has been locked up for over two decades, serving out a
sentence of life without parole at Jefferson City Correctional Center.
The law that locked him away after “three strikes” has since been
repealed, but the governor would not show the aging man mercy in spite
of this fact.
