THE LAW OFFICE OF JORIE K. JOHNSON, LLC is located at 3015 E New York St Suite A2-178 Aurora 60504, US Illinois Expungement Lawyer Blog — Published by Illinois, Expungement, Clemency and Criminal Records Attorney — The Law Office of Jorie K. Johnson, LLC Illinois Expungement Lawyer Blog — Published by Illinois, Expungement, Clemency and Criminal Records Attorney — The Law Office of Jorie K. Johnson, LLC During April and May, 2023, Governor Pritzker granted a total of thirteen (13) pardons, in various forms, here in our state. On April 18th, five (5) petitioners with cases from various counties within Illinois, ranging in dates from 1981 to 2002, had their sentences commuted to “parole eligible”. In addition, one (1) petitioner’s sentence, which included Mandatory Supervised Release (MSR), was commuted. For those not familiar, to “commute a sentence” means that the Governor, in this case, essentially substitutes the original sentence imposed by a judge or jury to something lesser. It goes without saying, then, that all six (6) of the clemency petitions granted on April 18, 2023, were involving then-currently incarcerated individuals; the next batch of clemency grants (discussed below), involved people who had already served their respective sentences and were seeking the ability to return to court to pursue expungement of statutorily ineligible convictions (and possibly restoration of previously-forfeited firearms rights). | |
