Gov. Gavin Newsom's office on Wednesday announced that he has granted clemency to a person who committed a crime in Monterey County.
The governor is allowed to extend executive clemency in the form of a pardon, commutation or reprieve.
According to Newsom's office, the governor bases his decisions on the grantee's self-development and accountability after conviction.
Andy Silvestre, now a resident of Arizona, applied and was approved for clemency.
Silvestre was sentenced to three years probation and 120 days in jail for possession or purchase of cocaine base for sale in 1990.
He was approved after providing evidence he has since been living an upright life.
"This act of clemency for Mr. Silvestre does not minimize or forgive his conduct or the harm it caused. It does recognize the work he has done since to transform himself," said a note signed by the governor.
The CIA didn't like the competition.
How big a bribe did that take?
