WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama has pardoned eight people convicted of crimes ranging from conspiring to import marijuana to selling alligator hides.
The action Friday marked the second set of pardons Obama has granted since becoming president. The first pardons, in December, went to nine people whose crimes included possessing drugs, counterfeiting and mutilating coins. The latest pardons did not involve anyone well-known.
