FILE - In this Jan. 10, 2019 file photo, Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis announces funding for his environmental policy during a press conference at Mote Marine Laboratory in Sarasota, Fla. DeSantis and the independently elected Cabinet granted pardons to four African-American men accused of raping a white woman nearly 70 years ago in a case now seen as a racial injustice. The unanimous vote came minutes after alleged victim Norma Padgett Upshaw pleaded with DeSantis and the Cabinet members, meeting as the clemency board, not to grant the pardons, saying she still relives the horror of the rape she said happened in 1949. But DeSantis said the case against the men known as the Groveland Four was clearly mishandled. (Dan Wagner/Sarasota Herald-Tribune via AP, File)
