One of the fastest chicks on the field who is now spending her time running around the inside of the prison walls, Marion Jones, has asked President Bush to commute her six-month prison sentence for lying to federal agents about her use of performance-enhancing drugs and a check-fraud scam.The Justice Department confirmed Monday that Jones is among hundreds of convicted felons who have applied for presidential pardons or sentence commutations, but would provide no further details. A pardon is an official act of forgiveness that removes civil liabilities stemming from a criminal conviction, while a commutation reduces or eliminates a person's sentence.Question, should her time be commuted just because of her "status", or should she remain and finish our her sentence?
