The President's Pardons

President Bush only granted four Christmas pardons -- for a total of 31 during his first term. That's about half what his father did.

This year's lucky winners:

• Kristan Diane Bullock Akins of, Raleigh, North Carolina. Sentenced in 1990 for embezzlement by a bank employee.
• Ronald William Cauley of East Providence, Rhode Island. Sentenced in 1980 for misapplication of bank funds by an employee.
• Stephen Davis Simmons of Austin, Texas. Sentenced in 1981 for possession of counterfeit obligations.
• Roger Charles Weber of Northridge, California. Sentenced in 1969 for theft from interstate shipment. (CNN)
