in 2007 I applied for executive clemency & pardon (to restore firearms rights) in Fla. for a felony in 1975. Received clemency in 2009 but am still waiting for pardon. In Feb 2011 I was told they had forwarded my application to the parole commission (it took 4 years for someone to verify that I had filled out the form correctly). In Oct 2011 I was told it would be another 2 year wait. In Aug. 2012 same answer. March 2013 same answer except I was told this was just a wait for an investigation and that I would again have to wait for my application to be forwarded to the Parole commission.
Is there no requirement for the Parole commission to hear cases in a reasonable amount of time?
Answer
I don't do these types of hearings, but my colleagues that do these, say the process is taking anywhere from 4-7 years. There is no "requirement" in these cases, unfortunately you just have to be patient.
