Question: Tyrone Brown was granted a conditional pardon by the Governor of what state?
Context: In the United States, the pardon power for federal crimes is granted to the President of the United States under of the United States Constitution which states that the President "shall have power to grant reprieves and pardons for offenses against the United States, except in cases of impeachment".  The U.S. Supreme Court has interpreted this language to include the power to grant pardons, conditional pardons, commutations of sentence, conditional commutations of sentence, remissions of fines and forfeitures, respites, and amnesties.  The pardon can also be used for a presumptive case, such as when President Gerald Ford pardoned Nixon over any possible crimes regarding the Watergate scandal. Thomas Watling born September 19, 1762 in Dumfries, Scotland, who died around 1814, was an early Australian painter and illustrator.  Originally from Scotland, he was transported on the East Indiaman "Royal Admiral" as a convict to Sydney, in the newly established Colony of New South Wales, in 1792 for forging banknotes.  In Sydney he worked with John White, the colony's Surgeon General, copying natural history illustrations.  In 1796 he was given a conditional pardon by the colony's second governor, John Hunter.  Thomas Watling painted many of the early colonial pictures of Australia.  One of his paintings, "Sydney 1794", is a large work painted in oils and appears to have been painted from a series of sketches that he took with him back to England.  It now belongs to the Dixson Gallery in New South Wales. A Jagir (IAST: Jāgīr), also spelled as Jageer, was a type of feudal land grant in South Asia at the foundation of its Jagirdar system.  It developed during the Islamic rule era of the Indian subcontinent, starting in the early 13th century, wherein the powers to govern and collect tax from an estate was granted to an appointee of the state.  The tenants were considered to be in the servitude of the "jagirdar".  There were two forms of "jagir", one being conditional and the other unconditional.  The conditional "jagir" required the governing family to maintain troops and provide their service to the state when asked.  The land grant was called "iqta", usually for a holder's lifetime, and the land reverted to the state upon the death of the "jagirdar". A privilege is a certain entitlement to immunity granted by the state or another authority to a restricted group, either by birth or on a conditional basis.  Land-titles and taxi medallions are pronounced examples of transferable privilege.  These can be revoked in certain circumstances.  In modern democratic states, a "privilege" is conditional and granted only after birth.  By contrast, a "right" is an inherent, irrevocable entitlement held by all citizens or all human beings from the moment of birth.  Various examples of old common law privilege still exist, to title deeds, for example.  Etymologically, a privilege ("privilegium") means a "private law", or rule relating to a specific individual or institution. Tyrone Brown (born 1973) is an African-American man from Texas who, in 1990, was sentenced to a life term in a Texas maximum security prison and was kept incarcerated for 17 years after testing positive once for smoking marijuana while on probation for robbing a man of two dollars at the age of 17.  No one was hurt in the robbery, and Brown had voluntarily returned the wallet to the victim.  Brown's case attracted some attention in the press in 2006, and he was later granted a conditional pardon by Texas Governor Rick Perry.  He was released on March 16, 2007. Joseph Wild (also Wilde) (c.1759 or 1773–1847) was an early explorer of Australia.  He was sentenced on 21 August 1793 in Chester for burglary, together with his brother, George.  Both were transported to Australia as convicts in 1797, arriving in Port Jackson (Sydney) on the ship the "Ganges" on 2 June (George died in 1812).  He was under the charge of physician and pastoralist Charles Throsby and together they later became explorers in southern New South Wales.  In particular they were the first Europeans to explore the area that became the Australian Capital Territory and Wild was credited with the discovery of Lake George.  In 1810 he received a ticket of leave, and in January 1813 he was granted a conditional pardon.  On 9 December 1815 Wild was appointed first Constable of the Five Islands District (now Illawarra).  During the next few years he accompanied Throsby on many expeditions throughout New South Wales.  In 1819 he was granted 100 acre in Sutton Forest for services for Throsby and in 1821 he was appointed constable of the County of Argyle.  It is said that he and his wife Elizabeth had a large family.  He died on 25 May 1847 when he was gored by a bull at Wingecarribee Swamp.  He was the first person to be buried behind the church in the Bong Bong Cemetery, Moss Vale, New South Wales. Joseph Walton (born 1830, date of death unknown) was a convict transported to Western Australia.  The son of a watchmaker, Walton was born in Canada, but it was in England on 19 July 1851 that he was convicted of burglary and sentenced to ten years' penal servitude.  Walton was transported to Western Australia on the "Dudbrook", arriving in February 1853.  After obtaining his ticket of leave, he worked as a carpenter.  He received his conditional pardon in July 1856, and the following month he married Fanny Kenney.  Over the next few years he worked in the Avon and Greenough districts; his wife did not accompany him and the fact that he was married was not known.  Walton took up land at Greenough, and built a hotel there.  Later he won a number of contracts to build government buildings, including a one-room school, a police station and a courthouse. Newcastle East Public School is a public school located in the New South Wales town of Newcastle, Australia.  It is the oldest continuously running school in Australia, established in 1816 by a convict on conditional pardon, Henry Wrensford. Alias Smith and Jones is an American Western series that originally aired on ABC from January 1971 to January 1973.  It stars Pete Duel as Hannibal Heyes and Ben Murphy as Jedediah "Kid" Curry, outlaw cousins who are trying to reform.  The governor offers them a conditional amnesty, aiming to keep the pact a secret.  The "condition" is that they will still be wanted until it becomes politically advantageous for the governor to pardon them.
