Ethics and Presidential Pardons

Listen Monday, Dec. 1, 2008 at 1:06 p.m.
Guest host: Rebecca Roberts

As President Bush nears the end of his tenure, speculation is growing about whether he will issue a flurry of pardons before he leaves office. But last-minute, "midnight" pardons haven't always been a traditional part of the transition process. We explore the issue of executive clemency, and its proper role in our criminal justice system.
