12/25/2013

52 Comments

 
This Christmas Eve, Illinois Governor Pat Quinn decided on more executive clemency petitions by granting 38 and denying an additional 129.  All 38 clemency petitions came in the form of pardons with authorization to expunge them from their criminal record.  Since taking office, Governor Quinn has now acted on 2,815 clemency petitions, granting 1,032.

I am sure this will be a very merry Christmas and happy New Year for those 38 deserving individuals.  Congratulations and happy holidays!

President Obama Grants Clemency to 21

12/20/2013

1 Comment

 
This week, President Obama granted clemency to 21 individuals, including 8 commutations.  It is good to see the President pick up the pace on clemency decisions, as he has been among the lowest in US history for clemency actions.

The commutations were for those sentenced under the harsh federal guidelines which, at that time, mandated a life sentence for selling crack cocaine.  Among those was an Illinois man sentenced as a teenager almost 20 years ago, despite it being his first offense.

Congratulations to those that received the clemency actions!  And thank you to President Obama for making this a truly special holiday season for these individuals!
