Both the President and the Governor have the power to grant pardons. The other options are not always granted this power. The parole board makes decisions regarding early release for prisoners, the judge presides over the trial and sentencing but does not have the power to grant pardons, and the pardon board is a committee that reviews pardon applications but ultimately the power to grant a pardon lies with the executive branch.
