Outgoing Governor Quinn Issues Final Batch of Clemency Decisions

1/12/2015

36 Comments

 
In Governor Quinn's last day in office, he released his final batch of decisions on clemency petitions.  The final batch contains 43 granted and 119 denied.  Quinn's total numbers for his time as governor are 4,928 clemency decisions, with 1,795 granted and 3,133 denied.

That is tremendous work for Quinn's six years in Springfield.  The Bryant Chavez Law Office would like to extend its gratitude to Quinn for taking his pardon power seriously and showing the mercy and compassion that is fit for the Chief Executive of Illinois.  Thank you!

Congratulations to the 43 that were able to get their petitions granted today!  I am sure the pardons are befitting the years of hard work and rehabilitation you have put into improving your lives.  For the rest that are still pending, good luck and may we see Governor Rauner live up to the standard set by his predecessor!

Governor Quinn Acts on 494 Pardon Petitions, Including His First Based on Innocence

1/9/2015

Today Governor Quinn released his penultimate batch of pardon decisions, granting 232 and denying 262.  Since taking office, Quinn has now acted on 4,766 clemency petitions with 1,752 being granted.

This batch is notable as it includes Quinn's first pardon based on innocence.  That contrasts with the vast majority of pardons which are granted to those who have rehabilitated and hope to move on with their lives having their rights restored and criminal records clean for background checks. 

Quinn also told The Associated Press that he will release one more batch on Monday.  So for those that are still waiting, keep your fingers crossed as clemency may still be coming to you soon.  For those that were included in this batch, congratulations!
