Series 2629: Clemency and Pardon Requests. 2000-2004.
Governor’s Office (RG 27). Administration of David Ronald Musgrove.

      Files pertaining to requests for executive clemency and/or pardon from Governor Musgrove. Files typically contain the application form, copies of court documents, incoming and outgoing correspondence, the Parole Board investigator’s report, the Parole Board’s recommendation, and an Executive Order stating the type and terms of clemency, if granted. Files may also contain such documents as income tax returns, medical records, student transcripts, etc.

      Although the basic arrangement of the folders in this series is alphabetical, the original records were kept in three different sets of files, and this arrangement has been retained. Some additional files were added in January 2012 that had been stored by Governor Haley Barbour’s legal counsel. They are listed separately at the end.

ACCESS NOTE

Due to the inclusion of privacy-sensitive information, this series is restricted from public access. For researchers interested in viewing these files, there are two options: 1) a file which contains no restricted information will be made available to the researcher, or 2) a file with redacted information will be made available to the researcher. In either case, the file(s) will have to be screened by an archivist first, so there will be a waiting period, the length of which will depend upon staff availability and the number of files requested. Therefore, researchers are strongly encouraged to contact the Archives in writing before undertaking any research into these records.
