Ultimately, that defense was rejected and Ferguson was sentenced to 300+ years in jail.

Was his name up for consideration in the list of presidential pardons at the end of Bill Clinton's second term? Or didn't he have enough money available?

If not I’m sure he will be up for a pardon next December when BO and his queen hold court.

POTUS can only pardon violators of Federal law. Colin Ferguson was convicted of murder in the State of NY by a jury in New York State Supreme Court for the County of Nassau. No federal pardon here.
