    Not even unjust or corrupt.

    It’s for cases where judicial guidelines are too hard, requiring a conviction which doesn’t make sense.

    It’s for (uncontroversial) amnesty when the law is slower than the executive and not retroactive. So stuff like non-violent drug convictions.

    It’s for adding another chance at parole when the parole board’s main concern is something that shouldn’t be their focus.
