Radio host seeks pardon for executed SC ancestors

Nationally syndicated radio host Tom Joyner is asking South Carolina to posthumously pardon two of his great-uncles - black landowners executed in 1915 after being convicted of murdering an elderly Confederate Army veteran.

so - how can we be sure all these years later, he didn't do it ?

Ohhh - a pardon - well, that's an official forgiveness, not a statement of innocence. That's OK then.

No pardon due here. Just another black ploy, not going to work, hang it up Tom, how damn stupid!!!!
