ANNAPOLIS, Md. - For the first time in his tenure, Gov. Martin O'Malley commuted two life prison sentences on Thursday, for a then-14-year-old boy involved in a fatal robbery and a woman whose boyfriend killed a man she met in a bar.
The governor signed executive orders to grant conditional commutations for Mark Farley Grant and Tamara Settles. Grant's life term was commuted to a term of life with all but 45 years suspended. Settles' life term was commuted to a term of life with all but 40 years suspended.
Renee Hutchins, who has been Grant's attorney since 2005, said she spoke to Grant earlier in the day when she learned about the commutation. She described him as "absolutely speechless."
