Here are Biden’s End-of-Year Presidential Pardons

80-year-old Columbus, Ohio resident Beverly Ann Ibn-Tamas was found guilty of murdering her husband at the age of 33. She claimed that her husband had threatened, verbally abused, and physically assaulted her. She testified to the jury that she shot him while she was still pregnant, shortly after he had assaulted her. The battered woman syndrome, a psychological condition that can arise among victims of domestic violence, was brought up in expert testimony, but the judge rejected it. She was sentenced to one to five years in prison, with credit for time already served. She filed one of the earliest appeals by a victim of battered woman syndrome, and academics have researched her case.

Swansea, South Carolina resident Charles Byrnes-Jackson, age 77, was 18 years old when he entered a guilty plea to a single illegal whiskey transaction that involved the possession and sale of spirits without tax stamps. He attempted to join the Marines but was turned down due to the conviction.

72-year-old St. Augustine, Florida resident John Dix Nock III. 27 years ago, Nock entered a guilty plea for using his property as a marijuana grow facility. Despite not growing the plants, he was sentenced to six months of community service. He currently runs a general contracting company.

Arizonan Gary Parks Davis, age 66, is from Yuma. Davis admitted using a phone to conduct a cocaine transaction when he was 22 years old. He finished his probation in 1981 after serving a six-month sentence in a county jail on the evenings and weekends. The White House claims that after the offense, Davis graduated from college, worked steadily, owned a landscaping company, and oversaw construction projects. He has volunteered in his community and at his children’s high school.

50-year-old Dublin, California resident Edward Lincoln De Coito III. At the age of 23, De Coito admitted to taking part in a conspiracy to traffic in marijuana. After almost two years in custody, he was freed in December 2000. De Coito had previously served the US Army and the Army Reserves with honor and had won numerous awards.

37-year-old Winters, Californian, Vincente Ray Flores. While serving in the Air Force as a 19-year-old, Flores used ecstasy and alcohol; he later admitted guilt in a special court-martial. He received a four-month prison term, a $2,800 pay loss, and a rank reduction as punishment. Flores took part in a six-month rehabilitation program that allows a few selected enlisted offenders to rejoin the military after therapy and instruction. His rank reduction was changed, and he is still on active duty. For his service, he has received medals and other honors.
