I provide you with a brief overview of the Governor's pardon power and list the four criteria you must meet in order to be eligible to receive a pardon.\n\nIn Wisconsin, the Governor's pardon power arises from our state Constitution.  Here is the text:\n\n\"Pardoning Power. Section 6. The governor shall have power to grant reprieves, commutations and pardons, after conviction, for all offenses, except treason and cases of impeachment, upon such conditions and with such restrictions and limitations as he may think proper, subject to such regulations as may be provided by law relative to the manner of applying for pardons... He shall annually communicate to the legislature each case of reprieve, commutation or pardon granted, stating the name of the convict, the crime of which he was convicted, the sentence and its date, and the date of the commutation, pardon or reprieve, with his reasons for granting the same.\" \n\nTo learn more about the pardon process and access an application to begin your pardon process you can visit the official state of Wisconsin website:  https:\/\/evers.wi.gov\/Pages\/pardon-information.aspx\n\nThank you.  As always, I hope this video provides value to you.  If I can answer any questions you have regarding the pardon process please contact me at (608) 282-6200 or email me at dstegall@lawtoncates.com.","potentialAction":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=nyXyfm9GXZI#VideoObject_potentialAction","duration":"PT4M25S","contentUrl":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=nyXyfm9GXZI","thumbnailUrl":["https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/nyXyfm9GXZI\/maxresdefault.jpg","https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/nyXyfm9GXZI\/sddefault.jpg","https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/nyXyfm9GXZI\/hqdefault.jpg","https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/nyXyfm9GXZI\/mqdefault.jpg","https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/nyXyfm9GXZI\/default.jpg"],"uploadDate":"2020-07-30T20:38:07+00:00","embedUrl":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nyXyfm9GXZI","interactionStatistic":["https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=nyXyfm9GXZI#VideoObject_interactionStatistic_LikeAction","https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=nyXyfm9GXZI#VideoObject_interactionStatistic_WatchAction"],"@id":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=nyXyfm9GXZI#VideoObject"},"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https:\/\/www.lawtoncates.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/lawtoncates-logo.png","height":73,"width":438,"@id":"https:\/\/www.lawtoncates.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/lawtoncates-logo.png"},"name":"LawtonCates, S.C.","@id":"https:\/\/www.lawtoncates.com\/blog\/the-4-things-you-must-know-about-a-wisconsin-par\/#Organization1"},"@id":"https:\/\/www.lawtoncates.com\/blog\/the-4-things-you-must-know-about-a-wisconsin-par\/#BlogPosting"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"LikeAction","@id":"https:\/\/www.lawtoncates.com\/blog\/the-4-things-you-must-know-about-a-wisconsin-par\/#LikeAction3"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"WatchAction","@id":"https:\/\/www.lawtoncates.com\/blog\/the-4-things-you-must-know-about-a-wisconsin-par\/#WatchAction2"}],{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Blog","item":"https:\/\/www.lawtoncates.com\/blog\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"The 4 Things You Must Know About A Wisconsin Pardon","item":"https:\/\/www.lawtoncates.com\/blog\/the-4-things-you-must-know-about-a-wisconsin-par\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
