5-17-22 governor evers grants 49 more pardons

Gov. Tony Evers has granted another 49 pardons including two Fond du Lac County residents.   Governor Evers has granted more pardons during his first three years in office than any other governor in contemporary history. To date, the governor has granted 498 pardons.    “There is power in redemption and forgiveness, especially for folks who’ve been working to move beyond their past mistakes to be productive, positive members of their communities,” said Gov. Evers. “I’m grateful for being able to give a second chance to these individuals who’ve worked hard to do just that.”   Among those who were pardoned include Eric Asmus of Fond  du lac.  Asmus was 20 when he entered his local high school’s construction site and stole tools and vandalized the property with a group of friends. About a year later, the group broke into a liquor store to steal beer and a concession stand to steal candy. Now 20 years later, he resides in Fond du Lac with his family.  James Sterner was 18 when he failed to pull over for an officer who recognized his car as unregistered. Now 25 years later, he resides in Ripon, volunteers locally, and works in utilities.
