Sara Kruzan was 16 when she killed George Gilbert Howard in a Riverside motel room. She was 17 when she was sentenced to die in prison for the 1994 murder of the man she said had sexually abused her and trafficked her.
Gov. Gavin Newsom delivers his annual State of the State address in Sacramento, Calif., Tuesday, March 8, 2022.
Hers was among nearly three dozen such pardons and clemencies Friday that also affected older and younger offenders. They included 82-year-old Henry Pachnowski, who was born to Polish parents who were later imprisoned in Nazi labor camps in World War II. Brown's predecessor, then-Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, had commuted her sentence to life with the possibility of parole just before he left office in early 2011.
The commutations give the inmates the chance to appear before a parole board that will decide if they are suitable for release. In his pardon application, Pachnowski said he was having consensual “intimacy" with a another man in a car in a deserted industrial area when they were caught by a security guard who “said we had gone against God and nature.” He said he pleaded guilty to avoid prosecution on a more serious charge of “sex perversion.”
