The Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles has reversed its decision to grant George Floyd a posthumous pardon for a 2004 drug conviction, according to a letter obtained by CNN.
The about-face on Wednesday comes nearly a year after the board voted unanimously to recommend the pardon and more than two years after Floyd was killed by a former Minneapolis officer.
The board did not cite a reason for its decision in the letter, which was sent Thursday to the Harris County public defender working on behalf of Floyd’s surviving family members.
“After a full and careful review of the application and other information filed with the application, a majority of the Board decided not to recommend a Full Pardon and/or Pardon for Innocence,” the letter states.
Floyd’s family filed the pardon application on his behalf in April 2021. The family may reapply in two years, according to the letter.

So, in what was once a great country, thugs get made into saints, get statues made of them, and get their images polished.
While people who love the country get investigated by the SS.
Good.
I heard that the pope is considering sainthood for mr flloyd? Something about being an assistant to a mother teresa....
Be careful going down that path, FRiend. Trust me, it just leads to disappointment.
Well he has been drug-free for two years.
JB: if he’s not going to show up for his own pardon hearing, my hands are tied , c’mon man.
He's been a model citizen, wish more were like him.
Oh Boy! It’s antifa and BLM time!
Pardoning a lifelong loser and criminal like that is the silliest, most inconsequential, meaningless feel-good virtue signal ever.
I already know that. But my curiosity always gets the best of me....
A reasonable decision. I’m astounded
A stain on the honor of Saint Floyd? Horrors!
