• President Joe Biden pardoned six people who served out sentences after convictions on a murder charge and drug- and alcohol-related crimes, including an 80-year-old woman convicted of killing her abusive husband about a half-century ago and a man who pleaded guilty to using a telephone for a cocaine transaction in the 1970s.
• The pardons, announced Friday, mean the criminal records are purged. They come a few months after Biden, a Democrat, pardoned thousands of people convicted of “simple possession” of marijuana under federal law.
• He also pardoned three people earlier this year and has commuted the sentences of 75 others.
