Friday, December 30th, 2022 -- 9:00 AM

(Raymond Neupert, WRN) Governor Tony Evers has issued over 170 more pardons.

The 171 pardons issued this week bring the total number of pardons from Governor Evers to 774. Evers has pardoned more people than any other governor in Wisconsin's history, with most of the pardons for low-level non-violent crimes.

Evers says the pardons represent "act of forgiveness and an acknowledgment that an individual has done the work to make amends for a past mistake." Those pardons can help restore rights to people and help them move forward with their lives.
