Gov. Parris Glendening granted a posthumous pardon to a black man hanged in 1919, saying the execution "may well have been a miscarriage of justice." "While it is impossible at this late date to establish with certainty his guilt or innocence, there is substantial doubt that justice was served by his hanging," the governor said. John Snowden was convicted of the bludgeoning death of 20-year-old Lottie May Brandon, who was white, in the summer of 1917.
