Pardon Jonathan Pollard

Created by G.S. on September 23, 2011

We would like to call your attention to the case of Jonathan Pollard and to request that you exercise your power of executive clemency to commute Jonathan Pollard's sentence to time-served.

Jonathan Pollard is currently serving his 24th year of a life sentence even though the median sentence for the offense he was indicted for is 2 to 4 years.

Jonathan Pollard never had a trial. He entered into a plea and fulfilled his end of the plea agreement, cooperating fully with the prosecution. In spite of his plea agreement and in spite of his cooperation, Pollard received an unprecedented, grossly disproportionate life sentence. We therefore request that you commute Jonathan Pollard's sentence to time served. Thank you.
