“As a former criminal prosecutor and as governor for the past four years, one of my highest priorities has always been to protect people and maintain public safety,” Gov. Ritter said. “I take very seriously the role of the governor in the legal and criminal justice systems, and that’s why I have carefully reviewed each of these cases and their unique set of circumstances.
“The individuals being pardoned today have demonstrated great remorse, an effort at redeeming themselves from prior criminal acts, and in some cases, significant involvement in their community. These cases include circumstances where a guilty plea or conviction has impacted their career, and today’s pardon will allow them to move forward as a productive member of the workforce, of their community and of society.”
