re: the Gov can pardon anyone who helps

Actually he can't. In Florida pardons are granted by the Board of Pardons which consists of the Governor and the State Cabinet. I could be wrong, certainly wouldn't be the first time, but I don't think the Governor can grant a pardon on his own.

You are correct. First, Terri would have to be eligable for a pardon, I suppose.I hope she is, but were she, I am certain Jeb would have granted one by now.
