LINCOLN - The Nebraska Board of Pardons has held only seven hearings in more than 2½ years, and has granted only 21 pardons, despite the board receiving close to 500 petitions.
No hearing has taken place since July, which means no pardons granted or denied in six months.
Compare that to 2013 and 2014, when seven hearings were held each year and more than 200 pardons granted.
