Clemency Board Considers Pardon for Sex Offender

June 11th, 2009 by flanews

A registered sex offender is asking the state clemency board for a pardon.

The board met today to review the cases of 80 former felons. The board restored the civil rights of several felons. Virgil McCranie was charged with a sex crime for sleeping with his 14 year old girlfriend when he was 19. The two later married but the conviction still remains. McCranie begged the board for a pardon.

�I just want a chance to be a regular person again. I mean, I�m not a monster. I�m just a regular person. I made a mistake when I was younger. Me and my wife were a few years age difference. I was modeling and my dad and her dad grew up together and he asked if I could get her into the modeling and we just built a relationship from there and 10 years later we are still married with four children and I�m still paying,� said McCranie.

The board is taking the case under advisement and could make a decision on McCranie�s case at the next clemency board meeting.
