during that process involving a much larger numbers of -- number of petition -- number of petitioners, judges rejected 604 petitions from prisoners who had high public safety risk. they rejected. half of these denials were in the highest criminal history category. justices were careful. the recidivism rate demonstrates that the rights of prisons -- prisoners released early were lower than those released under their additional sentence. of course, while any recidivism is unacceptable, the risk is mitigated because judges have the right to reject any prisoners who posed too high a public safety risk. for example, those prisoners who had disciplinary problems in prison. the commission does recognize the need for fidelity and certainty in punishment. we know that retroactivity should be rare. we heard concerns from the united states attorney's offices. we are from some senators and congressmen about the resources needed to implement retroactivity. we appreciate and acknowledged those concerns raised about the use of resources, particularly in this top economy. however, the commission hear

. >> i am denying the request, because i do not believe that the petitioners have met the burden that they have of demonstrating conclusively that they are innocent of all involvement in this crime. >> narrator: he would deny a request for full pardon. the confessions, he said, were too overwhelming to ignore. >> i find, just as i believe the jury and judge found in this case, that it is difficult to completely ignore the entire weight of these confessions. >> narrator: but in the end, he said, he also had grave doubts about their guilt, so he granted the three still in prison conditional pardons. >> i am granting a conditional pardon to three of the individuals. >> narrator: derek, danial and joe were released the next day, august 10, 2009. they would be free but not exonerated. they would be branded felons and sex offenders. if there was anyone who understood what their life would be like, it was eric. he'd been released four years before. >> once you have been convicted of this type of crime, you will be paying for it for the rest of your life. >> narrator: three years ago, he met

in a situation now that you know very well where this new crop of republican true believers, tea petitioners and this freshman class, they have done an amazing thing. you have to hand it to them. they have pulled the discourse so far to the right so immediately as a minority it is stunning. so now we're sitting here, and we've now got a whole new occasion in washington. the debt ceiling is a time you can hold people hostage. we've got a balanced budget amendment on the table. if democrats go over to the left -- to the right, to the right, to the right, the country is going to be ruined. i'm happy to hear senator whitehouse talk about standing up, and i think it has to come from house democrats. i don't think it can all be about president obama. >> senator whitehouse also said he would not commit to vote a certain ways. the absolutes are not being found on the democratic side. that brings me to what kind of cuts are we really talking about? e.j., 1.5 trillion. if that's the number, will the president go along with that? if he does, does he look weak? >> i think all along the sort of underlyin

during that process involving a much larger number of petitioners, 25,010, judges rejected as many as 604 petitions from prisoners who had those high public safety risks. they were rejected. indeed, half of the denial were the highest criminal history category. so judges are careful. the three-year study of recidivism rate demonstrated prisoners released early were indeed a little lower than those released under their initially imposed sentence. and of course, bonnie recidivism is unacceptable, the risk is mitigated because judges have the right to reject any prisoners who pose public safety risks. for example, prisoners who disciplinary problems in prison. the commission does recognize finality insurgency and those are important goals. and we know that richer activity should be rare. we've heard concerns from the united states attorney's office is. default concerns and from senators and congressmen about the resources needed to implement richer activity. we appreciate and acknowledge those concerns raised about the use of resources, particularly in this tough economy. however, the co
