Illinois governor Bruce Rauner released his eleventh batch of clemency decisions ahead of Labor Day weekend. Included were eight clemency petitions granted and 118 denied. All eight clemency actions came in the form of a pardon with authorization to expunge the criminal record. The pardoned convictions included burglary, domestic battery, deceptive practice, criminal damage to property, attempted armed robbery, and aggravated battery.
According to the Governor's Office, there are fewer than 400 petitions remaining from the backlog that had built up under prior administrations.
As always, a warm congratulations goes out to all those receiving their pardons!
