Well, I think we're kind of getting into apples vs. oranges here. Granting someone clemency does not mean that he has been found innocent/not guilty. He is still considered guilty and is still in prison, however his sentence has been modified from death to life in prison.
I'm not aware of DNA evidence in any of the cases where Governor Ryan granted a pardon.
