This is very important: I wrote to Governor Gretchen Whitmer and this was her reply. There is no current application on file for his clemency; the last one expired. What can we do about this?
**********************
Dear Concerned Citizen,
Thank you for your correspondence regarding a pardon request for Michael Thompson (DOC #176309) . I appreciate your outreach and the opportunity to respond.
Individuals who have been convicted of a crime in the state of Michigan may apply for a pardon or commutation of their sentence. While a pardon erases a conviction, a commutation reduces a sentence, but it does not nullify the underlying conviction. Pardons and commutation will be determined on a case-by-case basis.
Currently, there is no application on file for Mr. Thompson’s clemency. Mr. Thompson was denied a request for clemency under former Governor Rick Snyder in November 2018 and is eligible to reapply in 2020. Should he decide to reapply, please be assured my Administration and I will review his application and act accordingly.
Again, thank you for taking the time to reach out. Please do not hesitate to contact my office at (517) 335-7858 should you have any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Gretchen Whitmer
Governor of Michigan
