Palau President Johnson Toribiong told George Kebekol, who is also a businessman, that he was “granted…this pardon because I believe you have shown remorse for your actions and because you have demonstrated as proved over the years to be a respectable, productive and law-abiding citizen.”
Aside from the manslaughter conviction, Kebekol was also convicted of assault and battery, driving under the influence of intoxicating liquor, disturbing the peace and possession of a controlled substance in separate cases.
