George Floyd's clemency recommendation withdrawn by Texas board

AUSTIN (KXAN) — Gov. Greg Abbott on Thursday pardoned eight Texans, whose charges ranged from theft to tax evasion to robbery, however, the late George Floyd was not one of them.
That's because the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles decided to withdraw and review 25 clemency recommendations, including Floyd's, due to procedural errors.
According to the Texas Tribune, the board initially recommended Floyd receive a posthumous pardon in early October for a 2004 drug charge he got in Houston.
