“This pardon represents the very best of what pro bono work can achieve; restoring dignity and removing barriers that have followed our client for decades,” said Evan Barr, Reed Smith partner. “Our team worked tirelessly to present a compelling case for clemency, and we are gratified that the governor recognized that he deserves a clean slate.”
The Reed Smith team that prepared and filed the clemency petition was led by Evan Barr and included Rafael Szmid and Bradley J. Myrthil.
