>Tyrone Brown was an African-American who was sentenced to life in a Texas maximum security prison in 1990 for smoking marijuana while on probation. Texas Judge Keith Dean had originally placed Brown on probation but changed the sentence after Brown tested positive for marijuana. After being defeated in the last Dallas election, Judge Dean requested the governor pardon Brown. On March 9, 2007, Perry, upon approval of the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles, granted Brown a conditional pardon (under Texas law Perry cannot grant pardons without the Board's consent).[26]
