So, dude is convicted of armed robbery and then told he'll be contacted when he's to report to prison. That never happens. 13 years later, he's turned his life around, took up a trade, had a family and basically reformed himself entirely. Well, the system eventually found out he wasn't in prison when it came time to release him. So, his house is stormed by SWAT and he's taken away to serve his sentence.
In this case, I think it would be unfair for the governor not to pardon him, but he's black, so that won't happen.
This American Life interviewed him and his victim and here's a Change.org petition.
