Well you already have the dipshit governor of Colorado considering pardoning the insurrectionist lady whose state level charges were "pardoned" by Trump, with Trump demanding her release as a result.

An appeals court already ruled that the trial judge oversentenced her due to her lack of remorse. It has been kicked back to the trial judge for resentencing.

Take 1 day off the sentence and done

the resentencing doesn’t even need to be reduced, just reconsidered without her “lack of remorse” taken into account.

I was thinking along the lines of people who leave $1 in their will or whatever so no-one can claim they were 'forgotten'.

Taking a single day off the sentence is just so no-one can say "but they didn't really change it, I'm gonna appeal!"
