Sir Robert Cecil could not grant Peter a free pardon because it was likely beyond his authority or jurisdiction, as pardons often required the approval of the monarch or a specific legal process. Additionally, there may have been political or legal implications involved, making it complicated to issue a pardon without considering the broader consequences. Furthermore, the circumstances surrounding Peter's situation could have warranted a more cautious approach.
