One Power Governor Cuomo Shied Away From: Commutations - a podcast by WNYC

In the days before leaving office Governor Cuomo has so far commuted 5 people's sentences, releasing them from prison before their sentences are finished. Steve Zeidman, professor and director of the Criminal Defense Clinic at CUNY Law School, talks about Cuomo's use of clemency during his tenure and why he's been less willing to use the constitutional power compared to governors in other blue states.
