I don't believe so unless someone could make a constitutional argument. Also the president would not be pardoning but would be commuting parts of their sentence. The problem is the president would get a lot of bad PR and would likely not be re-elected.
EDIT: It looks like DK is right. The president only has the power to pardon/commute federal crimes.
