Governor Pat Quinn Issues 169 Pardon Decisions in November

11/22/2012

4 Comments

 
On this holiday, many will be thankful of the gift given to them by Illinois Governor Pat Quinn on the Eve of Thanksgiving.  Yesterday, Governor Quinn released the latest set of executive clemency decisions.  Of the 169 pardon decisions, 81 were granted and 88 denied.

Unlike the previous administration under Rod Blagojevich, Governor Quinn has done a good job of issuing decisions on pardon petitions throughout his tenure.  Since taking office, Governor Quinn has now made decisions on 2,237 petitions for executive clemency, granting 842 of them.  When a pardon petition is granted, it gives the petitioner the special opportunity to have her criminal conviction expunged from the record so that she may move forward in her life.  In order to be a good candidate for a pardon, the petitioner must make a strong showing of rehabilitation.

Congratulations to those receiving executive clemency, and good luck in the next chapter of your lives!

Congratulations to all who recieve their pardon!!! Please do right by it!!! The worst thing a person can do is receive favor and than abuse the gift you have been given. And, to those who did not receive their pardon at this time stay faithful to your dreams and never give up hope!! Blessings to all!!!
