Jerry Brown Pardons Woman Who Tried to Kill Boyfriend for Insurance Money

If only Jerry Brown’s good friend Jim Jones had survived, I’m sure his pal would have pardoned him by now. But instead Jerry had to settle for dispensing pardons for minor crimes.
A woman who was convicted in Merced County of attempting to solicit the murder of her ex-boyfriend received a pardon from Gov. Jerry Brown on Wednesday.
Anong Baker received one of the 105 pardons that were issued by the governor, according to a statement from Brown’s office.
Baker, who at the time lived in Atwater, tried to hire an undercover police officer in 1991 for $10,000 to murder Illya Boyd so she could collect on a $50,000 life insurance policy. She was convicted in April 1992 and served four years as well as five months of probation for the crime, completing her sentence Oct. 1, 1996.
Boyd and Baker dated for more than a year when he was stationed at the former Castle Air Force Base.
I’m not clear on how you get pardoned for trying to have a man killed for the insurance money. Did Anong Baker, like Jim Jones, do some campaign work for Governor Moonbeam?
