So, maybe a presidential contender should spend his time finding the 100 or so best examples of "bad cases", have his supporters gin up support for the convicts, and then offer to pardon them all.

I hope there are not 100 bad prosecutions of border agents and LEO's and informants. So far Johnny Sutton and crew have only about 6 that we know of.

The Abuse of Border Patrol Agents

If the media hasn't already created them, the candidate can do the work himself. It's not hard. There's lots of cases where police have used excessive force but it's not against a minority that has a political base. Start there.

Illegals are always a good place to start, especially if you are a candidate which has already abandoned the hispanic vote. Also, families of known drug dealers who get caught in the crossfire can be easily demonized so long as their kin don't have money and aren't well-spoken.

You notice in the next to the last paragraph Hunter uses the word "murder". They were convicted for assualt with a deadly weapon, not murder.
