Saudi newspapers reported no less than the King Abdullah and the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia were to bring up the case with President Bush as they met this week in Riyadh...

Arapahoe District Attorney Carol Chambers told CBS4 Al-Turki was convicted by a jury of citizens from Arapahoe County and does not believe he should be pardoned.

Critical facts tell the story. At least the reporter bothered to give it to us.

If the guy was convicted on State charges, then Bush has no jurisdictional authority to pardon him. Bush can pardon people in federal prison on federal charges. The Governor of Colorado is the guy to go to for a pardon on a Colorado charge

Wouldn’t that take to the governor? I’m not sure the President can pardon someone from a state law.
