'I believe in forgiveness': Gov. Tony Evers re-launches pardon board. (Wisconsin State Journal, 6/13/2019)
The state Constitution grants the governor the power to pardon individuals convicted of a crime, which Wisconsin governors from both parties have traditionally used. Walker, however, declined to do so.
The board will make recommendations to Evers on whom he should grant a pardon.
Under Evers’ executive order announced Thursday, those convicted of a felony may apply for a pardon if they finished their sentence at least five years ago and haven’t committed new crimes. Those required to register on the sex offender registry are ineligible for a pardon.
