Kulongoski grants clemency to 15
Before leaving office as governor, Ted Kulongoski granted clemency to 15 people, pardoning 13 and commuting the sentences of two others.
More than 4,200 convicts sought clemency from outgoing Gov. Kathleen Blanco during her four years in office, but only 331 applications for pardons or commutations actually made it to her desk, and she granted 285 of those.
