“Frederic B. Ingram – Heir from Tennessee, convicted of bribing government officials in Illinois in 1977; jailed for 16 months. His sentence was commuted by Carter in December 1980.”

It would appear that Mr. Ingram was convicted in a federal court.

“A federal trial on charges surrounding an alleged $1.3 million in bribes paid to win contracts to haul Chicago’s sewage ended today with the convictions of a prominent Southern businessman and four other persons.”

“The Southerner is Frederic B. (Fritz) Ingram, 43,”

The list of presidential pardons exceed 10,000.
Check every pardon then get back to me.
I do not have time to research in excess of 10,000 pardons.

Or show me where in US constitution it says president can pardon only those convicted in federal courts. My understanding is constitution gives a wide authority to presidents to pardon anyone convicted.
