Governor Brown Grants 104 Pardons

by ECT

SACRAMENTO – Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr. on Dec. 24 announced that he has granted 104 pardons.

The individuals granted pardons all completed their sentences and have been released from custody for more than a decade without further criminal activity.

Individuals who have been convicted of a crime in California may apply to the Governor for a pardon. All applicants for a pardon who were eligible obtained a Certificate of Rehabilitation, which is an order from a superior court declaring that a person convicted of a crime is now rehabilitated. A gubernatorial pardon may be granted to people who have demonstrated exemplary behavior and have lived productive and law-abiding lives following their conviction. Pardons are not granted unless they are earned.

When a pardon is granted, the California Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation are notified so that they may update their records on the applicant. The pardon is filed with the Secretary of State and the Legislature, and it is a public record.

Copies of all 104 gubernatorial pardons can be found here. Additional information on pardons can be found here.

Of the 104 pardons, 3 came from Contra Costa County:

  • Edward Allen – June 30, 1987 for the crime of Burglary. Specifically, Mr. Allen appears to have driven an individual to a friend’s house knowing the individual planned to rob the friend.
  • Marvell Jackson – May 22, 1990 for the crimes of selling or furnishing a controlled substance and possession of controlled substance for sale.
  • Robert Samuel Tuttle – August 1, 2000 for the crimes of manufacturing a controlled substance, possession of ephedrine and acid to manufacture methamphetamine and child endangerment.
