A Texas parole and pardons board has voted unanimously to recommend a full posthumous pardon of George Floyd over a 2004 drug-related offense, now forwarding the decision onto Governor Greg Abbott.
The Texas State Board of Pardons and Paroles endorsed the request on Monday, after a pardon application was filed in April on behalf of Floyd’s family, citing the fact that an arresting officer in Floyd’s 2004 case had been found to have fabricated evidence against other defendants.
A copy of a board document confirming the decision was obtained by journalist Keri Blakinger, who noted that the ball is now in Governor Abbott’s court.
