think about that for a second. joining us now is crystal quaid, a democratic minority leader in missouri. representative quade, thanks for being with us. what do you make of this? governor parson saying strickland can't jump the queue, but this other couple gets a pardon? >> first of all, thanks so much for having me. what i think about this, frankly disgusting. we have been discussing kevin strickland's case for some time, prosecutor's offense and eyewitness and victim have recanted, the prosecutors saying he needs to be released, he's innocent, and the governor says it's not a priority, and a few minutes later he pardons the mccloskeys that we know jumped the line. pure politics and nothing new from the governor of our state. >> what are those of us outside missing here? this many people say he didn't commit the crime and he's been in jail 40 years, what is the governor's patience he needs to slow down and not rush this
