Gov. Nixon grants pardons to five non-violent offenders; commutes Jeffrey Mizanskey's sentence to make him eligible for parole consideration.

Because of Mizanskey's prior drug-related convictions, he was sentenced as a persistent offender under the laws in effect at the time to a sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole.
