Today, Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner released 59 executive clemency decisions, granting two of them. This marks the first batch of clemency decisions under Rauner, who took office in January.
According to the WNIJ news article, the Governor’s Office says it has developed a process to review clemency petitions on a regular basis. This is good news as it means that we won't have to wait extended periods of time between releases. Hopefully in the coming batches, we will see more pardons granted.
