No because it was not a federal crime.

It would be a good idea, but the trial hasn't even begun yet, much less a conviction.

Not a lawyer but I'd say no. A president can only offer pardons for federal crimes. This was a murder charge so it's a state crime.

Only the Governor can pardon for a state crime.

In a state case a pardon rests with the governor.

A hundred patriots with sledgehammers showing up at the prison gates can pardon him.

This is where we need to be.
