CONDITIONAL COMMUTATION

JOSIAH MALIK RASHID

To All to Whom These Presents Shall Come, Greetings:

WHEREAS, in 2012, Josiah Malik Rashid, a juvenile, was found guilty of FIRST DEGREE ROBBERY, RESIDENTIAL BURGLARY with a FIREARM ENHANCEMENT, and SECOND DEGREE UNLAWFUL FIREARM POSSESSION in King County Superior Court, Cause No. 11-C-02231-1, and sentenced to 87 total months of confinement, after he and his associates broke into an acquaintance's house, and engaged in an armed robbery in March 2011.

WHEREAS, Mr. Rashid has been incarcerated since March 2011 and has served 55 months in confinement. He is scheduled to be transferred to an adult correctional facility for the remaining seven months of his sentence.

WHEREAS, Mr. Rashid accepts full responsibility for his conduct in this incident, and he expresses remorse. He has been in the custody of the Juvenile Rehabilitation Administration at the Green Hill School since 2012, and he has paid all of the restitution owed to the victims. While in detention, Mr. Rashid has also seized every opportunity to improve himself. He earned his high school diploma in July 2014, and he has already earned approximately 10 credits toward his college degree.

WHEREAS, Mr. Rashid has taken advantage of vocational opportunities and work readiness programs. He works two jobs, and has excelled; in one of those roles, he has worked over 3,000 hours and was named Employee of the Year.

WHEREAS, in September 2015, the Clemency and Pardons Board reviewed Mr. Rashid's clemency petition, which included several letters of support from Juvenile Rehabilitation Administration personnel, family, friends, and community members. The King County Prosecuting Attorney's Office does not oppose Mr. Rashid's clemency petition.

WHEREAS, at his hearing, Mr. Rashid described the strong support network that will help him successfully reintegrate into the community. He has received offers for employment upon his release, and he has been offered a place to live. Moreover, Mr. Rashid has already been accepted into local colleges, where he intends to further his education.

WHEREAS, at the time of his crime in 2011, Mr. Rashid had just turned 16 years old. The scientific and criminal justice communities have documented the difficulty the juvenile brain has in engaging in behavior control, often leading juveniles to exhibit a transient rashness, proclivity for risk, and inability to assess the full consequences of their actions.

WHEREAS, studies also demonstrate that youth incarcerated in an adult correctional facility face an increased risk of negative peer influence. If Mr. Rashid were to be placed into an adult correctional facility for the remaining seven months of his sentence, after he ages out of the Juvenile Rehabilitation Administration, he may suffer a setback in his rehabilitation and therefore pose a greater risk to the community upon release. The potential harm that Mr. Rashid could experience in an adult facility, on a sentence imposed for a crime he committed as a youth, greatly outweighs any value to the community in Mr. Rashid's being incarcerated for seven months in an adult facility.

WHEREAS, the Clemency and Pardons Board unanimously voted to recommend that the Governor commute Mr. Rashid's sentence prior to January 29, 2016, the date Mr. Rashid ages out of the Juvenile Rehabilitation Administration and would otherwise be transferred to DOC custody.

WHEREAS, I have reviewed all pertinent facts and circumstances surrounding this matter, the circumstances of the involved crime, and the favorable recommendation of the Washington State Clemency and Pardons Board and, in light of the foregoing, I have determined that the best interests of justice will be served by this action.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, Jay Inslee, by virtue of the power vested in me as Governor of the state of Washington, adopt the recommendation of the Clemency and Pardons Board and hereby COMMUTE Josiah Malik Rashid's sentence for his 2012 FIRST DEGREE ROBBERY, RESIDENTIAL BURGLARY with a FIREARM ENHANCEMENT, and SECOND DEGREE UNLAWFUL FIREARM POSSESSION convictions, conditioned on his written agreement to comply with all terms outlined by the Juvenile Rehabilitation Administration and DOC in a transition plan.

Under this transition plan, Mr. Rashid will be transferred from Green Hill School to the Oakridge Community Facility as soon as space is available. While at the Oakridge Community Facility, Mr. Rashid will attend Pioneer Human Services' Roadmaps to Success job training program.

Throughout the remainder of his custody under the Juvenile Rehabilitation Administration, Mr. Rashid must obey all laws and comply with the orders of his counselors and supervisors at the Green Hill School and Oakridge Community Facility. On January 29, 2016, Mr. Rashid will be released from the Juvenile Rehabilitation Administration to serve a 12-month term of community custody under DOC supervision.

While on community custody, Mr. Rashid shall:

1. Obey all laws;

2. Follow all DOC conditions and obey orders issued by his community corrections officer (CCO);

3. Be subject to polygraph examinations during the first six months of his community custody;

4. Participate in educational, vocational, or job readiness programs, and if not enrolled in school or employed, participate in a work crew as directed by his CCO;

5. Be subject to testing for alcohol or drugs, including marijuana, spice, or mind and mood altering drugs that are not prescribed by a licensed medical doctor;

6. Not associate with known gang members, criminal associations, or his co-defendants unless he receives the approval of his CCO;

7. Be subject to geographic travel restrictions as determined by his CCO;

8. Be subject to new chemical dependency assessments in the community setting, and follow recommendations given by the chemical dependency program;

9. Not visit bars and taverns, unless he receives approval of his CCO;

10. Not possess firearms, ammunition, or dangerous weapons;

11. Live in a residence approved by his CCO. Mr. Rashid must notify his CCO within one business day of any residence change, and new residences must receive DOC approval.

PROVIDED, that Mr. Rashid shall remain under the supervision of the DOC and explicitly follow conditions established by that agency during the term of his community custody.

Violation of any of the above conditions shall result in sanctions as deemed appropriate by the DOC and may result in the termination of this conditional commutation as provided below. The Department may require Mr. Rashid to perform affirmative acts deemed appropriate to monitor compliance with the conditions and may issue warrants or detain Mr. Rashid if he violates a condition.

ADDITIONALLY PROVIDED, that in the event Mr. Rashid is convicted anywhere at any time of any offense the elements of which would classify the crime as a gross misdemeanor or felony in the state of Washington or, during the period of his 12-month supervision, violates the conditions of this conditional commutation as determined by the Governor, this conditional commutation is revoked and the sentence of the court reinstated, whereupon Mr. Rashid will be immediately returned to a corrections facility as the DOC Secretary deems appropriate. The DOC shall provide a written report to the Governor regarding any violation of this conditional commutation. A written notice of the Governor's intent to revoke the conditional commutation will be mailed to the most recent address Mr. Rashid has provided to the Office of the Governor or, if Mr. Rashid is in custody, to his place of detention. If within 14 calendar days of the mailing of the notice Mr. Rashid submits a sworn statement made under penalty of perjury that he has complied with all conditions of this commutation, the Governor shall appoint a hearing officer.

The hearing officer will provide Mr. Rashid an opportunity to be heard and to present witnesses and documentary evidence that he has met all conditions upon which the conditional commutation is granted. The hearing officer shall present findings of fact and a transcript of tl}e hearing to the Governor for the Governor's final and conclusive decision on whether Mr. Rashid has violated the conditions of this conditional commutation.

ADDITIONALLY PROVIDED, that Mr. Rashid may be detained pending judicial disposition of any new criminal charge or a final determination of whether a condition of this conditional commutation has been violated if the Governor determines there are reasonable grounds to believe he has violated the above conditions of this conditional commutation, reason to be concerned that he would pose a risk to any person or to the community, or that there is a possibility that Mr. Rashid may abscond if not detained. If detained, Mr. Rashid will be provided a preliminary hearing, as promptly as convenient after arrest, to determine whether there are reasonable grounds to believe he has violated the above conditions.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the state of Washington to be affixed at Olympia on this 10^th day of November, A.D., two thousand and fifteen.

AMENDED CONDITIONAL COMMUTATION

JOHN RAY STEWART

To All to Whom These Presents Shall Come, Greetings:

WHEREAS, John Ray Stewart was convicted on November 20, 1998, of First Degree Attempted Robbery and First Degree Burglary under King County Superior Court Cause No. 97-1-05832-1 and sentenced to serve Life Without the Possibility of Parole as required by Washington's Persistent Offender Accountability Act, the so-called "Three Strikes" law.

WHEREAS, the crimes leading to these final strike convictions occurred on July 29, 1997. Mr. Stewart burglarized a home, fought with the homeowner's two sons who chased him, and then tried to steal a vehicle belonging to one of the sons.

WHEREAS, the crime that led to Mr. Stewart's first strike conviction occurred on May 7, 1990. Mr. Stewart was convicted of Second Degree Assault after he and a co-defendant began beating hitchhikers after the hitchhikers refused their demand for money and started calling for help.

WHEREAS, the crime that led to Mr. Stewart's second strike conviction occurred on September 9, 1991. Mr. Stewart pleaded guilty to First Degree Manslaughter after he and a codefendant went to a residential property to steal marijuana and the co-defendant shot and killed a man who was on the premises.

WHEREAS, Mr. Stewart has also been convicted of other crimes, including Forgery in 1996 for signing the name of the owner on charge slips for a credit card that did not belong to him; Third Degree Assault in 1987 after using a knife during a drug dispute and cutting a man on the side of the neck; and Violation of the Uniform Controlled Substance Act in 1990 by possession of valium without a physician's prescription.

WHEREAS, in 2003, while in prison at the Washington State Penitentiary, Mr. Stewart met inmate Steven F. Sherer, who had been convicted of the murder of his wife. Mr. Sherer stated to Mr. Stewart and another inmate that he wanted to kill King County Deputy Prosecutor Marilyn Brenneman, who prosecuted the case against Mr. Sherer. He also stated he wanted to burn down the house of a key witness. Mr. Stewart contacted the King County Prosecutor's Office and reported the threats. He then assisted the police investigation that identified steps Mr. Sherer had taken to hire a person being released from prison to carry out his plan, and testified against Mr. Sherer at trial. A detective in the Major Crimes Unit of the King County Sheriffs Office wrote that Mr. Stewart "testified in trial knowing his own safety within the penitentiary would be sacrificed." The detective wrote that Mr. Stewart never asked for or received any financial reimbursement for his assistance, but that Mr. Stewart's motivation was to balance the wrong he had committed in his life by helping to thwart a scheme to murder a deputy prosecutor. The King County Prosecuting Attorney's Office confirmed that no benefit was conferred upon Mr. Stewart for his actions in this matter, and that Mr. Stewart simply asked to be protected without having to spend the rest of his life in solitary confinement. Mr. Stewart did spend about one year in solitary confinement for his own safety.

WHEREAS, the retired deputy prosecutor who was the target of Mr. Sherer's threat of murder for hire wrote: "I do believe that Mr. Stewart's act in reporting the attempted murders may have saved the lives of several people." She also stated: "I think that Mr. Stewart's action in this matter indicates someone with a conscience and courage." The witness against Mr. Sherer in his murder trial noted he planned to have her home burned while her family was sleeping. She wrote: "Thanks to John, the lives of three people, including me, were saved and a terrible crime was prevented before anything bad could happen."

WHEREAS, during his incarceration Mr. Stewart has earned his G.E.D., completed programs in Victim Awareness and Anger Management, participated in Narcotics Anonymous, and has been employed as a utility worker running the "wax crew" within the institution.

WHEREAS, following Mr. Stewart's Clemency and Pardons Board hearing on November 1, 2007, the Board issued a unanimous 4-0 recommendation in support of a commutation of his Life Without the Possibility of Parole sentence. Governor Gregoire denied Mr. Stewart's petition at that time, but invited him to repetition the Board in 2011.

WHEREAS, following Mr. Stewart's Clemency and Pardons Board hearing on December 9, 2011, the Board voted 2 - 2 on whether to recommend commutation of his Life Without the Possibility of Parole sentence. Two Board members believed Mr. Stewart's conduct in helping to prevent serious harm to the witness and her family and to the deputy prosecuting attorney at risk to his own personal safety was extraordinary. These Board members recommended a commutation. Two Board members expressed concern about Mr. Stewart's conduct and description of a 2010 fight with another inmate that led to an infraction, expressed concern about Mr. Stewart's readiness to return to society, and stated that a risk assessment needed to be conducted to provide reassurance there is not a substantial risk that Mr. Stewart would reoffend.

WHEREAS, on January 14, 2013, Governor Gregoire granted Mr. Stewart a Conditional Commutation on the remainder of his sentence, contingent on, among other things, his successful completion of a work release program and then an 18 month term of community custody. Before completing his work release program, on August 1, 2015, Mr. Stewart received a major infraction for fighting. Consequently, Mr. Stewart was terminated from his work release program. Mr. Stewart waived his right to a hearing to challenge the accusations against him and conceded that he violated the terms of his Conditional Commutation.

WHEREAS, having reviewed the Department of Corrections' reports describing the events of August 1, 2015, I have determined that Mr. Stewart has violated the terms of the Conditional Commutation granted by Governor Gregoire in 2013.

WHEREAS, Mr. Stewart is now 46 years old. Mr. Stewart has been incarcerated on King County Superior Court Cause No. 97-1-05832-l for over 18 years.

WHEREAS, Section 5 of Initiative 593 indicated that “[n]othing in this act shall ever be interpreted or construed as to reduce or eliminate the power of the governor to grant a pardon or clemency to any offender on an individual case-by-case basis."

NOW, THEREFORE, I, Jay Inslee, by virtue of the power vested in me as Governor of the State of Washington under Article ill Section 9 of the Washington State Constitution, RCW 9.94A.885 and RCW 9.95.260, hereby grant to John Ray Stewart an Amended Conditional Commutation of his sentence. Mr. Stewart shall remain incarcerated until no later than January 1, 2017, and during his incarceration he must complete a work release program and a Department of Corrections-approved mental health counseling program; upon successful completion of those assignments and his release from incarceration, Mr. Stewart must serve an 18 month term of community custody.

Mr. Stewart shall:

1. Enter, abide by all rules of, and successfully complete six months in the Department of Corrections Work Release program;

14. Not associate with any individuals who participated in the commission of any of the offenses that resulted in his sentencing under the Persistent Offender Accountability Act;

15. Have no direct contact with any of his victims or their families;

16. Participate in electronic monitoring, if deemed appropriate by the community corrections officer;

17. Comply with all standard conditions, recommendations, and instructions of community placement as directed by the community corrections officer; and

18. Pay any remaining legal financial obligations required by the Washington State sentencing court.

PROVIDED, that Mr. Stewart shall remain under the supervision of the Department of Corrections and explicitly follow conditions established by that agency during the term of his community custody. Violation of any of the above conditions shall result in sanctions as deemed appropriate by the Department of Corrections, to include total confinement under Department of Corrections' policies and rules, and may result in the termination of this Conditional Commutation as provided below. The Department may require Mr. Stewart to perform affirmative acts deemed appropriate to monitor compliance with the conditions and may issue warrants or detain Mr. Stewart if he violates a condition.

ADDITIONALLY PROVIDED, that Mr. Stewart shall have no direct contact with any of his victims or their families at any time, either before or after he has served this commuted sentence.

ADDITIONALLY PROVIDED, that in the event Mr. Stewart is convicted anywhere at any time of any offense the elements of which would classify the crime as a gross misdemeanor or felony in the state of Washington or violates the conditions of this Conditional Commutation as determined by the Governor, this Conditional Commutation is revoked and the sentence of the court reinstated, whereupon Mr. Stewart will be immediately returned to the Washington Corrections Center or any such facility as the Secretary of the Department of Corrections deems appropriate. The Department of Corrections shall provide a written report to the Governor regarding any substantial or sustained violations of this Conditional Commutation. A written notice of the Governor's intent to revoke the Conditional Commutation will be mailed to the most recent address Mr. Stewart has provided to the Office of the Governor or, if Mr. Stewart is in custody, to his place of detention. If within 14 calendar days of the mailing of the notice,

Mr. Stewart submits a sworn statement made under penalty of perjury that he has complied with all conditions of this commutation, the Governor shall appoint a hearing officer. The hearing officer will provide Mr. Stewart an opportunity to be heard and to present witnesses and documentary evidence that he has met all conditions upon which the Conditional Commutation is granted. The hearing officer shall present findings of fact and a transcript of the hearing to the Governor for the Governor's final and conclusive decision on whether Mr. Stewart has violated the conditions of this Conditional Commutation.

ADDITIONALLY PROVIDED, that Mr. Stewart may be detained pending judicial disposition of any new criminal charge or a final determination of whether a condition of this Conditional Commutation has been violated if the Governor determines there are reasonable grounds to believe he has violated the above conditions of this Conditional Commutation, reason to be concerned that he would pose a risk to any person or to the community, or that there is a possibility that Mr. Stewart may abscond if not detained. If detained, Mr. Stewart will be provided a preliminary hearing, as promptly as convenient after arrest, to determine whether there are reasonable grounds to believe he has violated the above conditions.

ISMAEL BALTAZAR JUAN

To All to Whom These Presents Shall Come, Greetings:

WHEREAS, in 2000, Ismael Baltazar Juan pleaded guilty to two counts of INDECENT LIBERTIES in Pierce County Superior Court, Cause No. 00-1-03172, and was sentenced to 89 months of confinement with 83 months suspended, and $610 in legal financial obligations. These charges arose after a then-20 year old Mr. Baltazar Juan approached a woman and began inappropriately touching her outside of a convenience store.

WHEREAS, Mr. Baltazar Juan accepts full responsibility for his past conduct and expresses remorse, and he has satisfied all the conditions of his judgment and sentence. He has completed a 36-month sexual offender treatment program, and he has paid off all of his legal financial obligations. In 2013, Mr. Baltazar Juan underwent several risk assessments, and it was determined that he is a low risk to reoffend.

WHEREAS, Mr. Baltazar Juan is a Guatemalan immigrant. Since his crime, Mr. Baltazar Juan has participated in reprogramming and now better understands and appreciates the cultural differences between his native Guatemala and the United States. These convictions on Mr. Baltazar Juan's record now subject him to deportation to Guatemala, where he has no family or employment prospects.

WHEREAS, in December 2014, the Clemency and Pardons Board reviewed Mr. Baltazar Juan's clemency petition, which included numerous letters of support from family, friends, and members of the community. Testimony before the Board was that in the 15 years since his crime, Mr. Baltazar Juan has married and is now raising four children. He also works over 40 hours a week, and has quit consuming alcohol. Also, the victim in this case was contacted and did not oppose Mr. Baltazar Juan's clemency petition.

WHEREAS, the Clemency and Pardons Board voted unanimously to recommend that Mr. Baltazar Juan be granted a full pardon. The Board stressed that it was particularly concerned about the negative effects that would result if Mr. Baltazar Juan were to be deported, leaving his wife and four young children without a husband and father.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, Jay Inslee, by virtue of the power vested in me as Governor of the state of Washington, hereby grant to Ismael Baltazar Juan this FULL AND UNCONDITIONAL pardon of his conviction for two counts of INDECENT LIBERTIES, in Pierce County Superior Court, Cause No. 00-1-03172-8, so that he may remain with his family.

MARIE DENISE CLARK

To All to Whom These Presents Shall Come, Greetings:

WHEREAS, in 1999, Marie Denise Clark pleaded guilty to THIRD DEGREE ASSAULT in Clark County Superior Court, Cause No. 98-1-02335-0, and was sentenced to 81 days in jail. This charge arose after a then-18 year old Ms. Clark, in a schizophrenic episode, attempted to stab her father with a kitchen knife.

WHEREAS, Ms. Clark accepts full responsibility for her past conduct and expresses remorse. At the time of the incident, she was not yet clinically diagnosed as schizophrenic, and later medical examinations determined that she was not cognitively aware of her actions during the knife attack.

WHEREAS, since this incident, Ms. Clark has found a medical regimen that has remedied her schizophrenia. She takes medication and has not exhibited any violent behavior since this single episode in 1998. Her longtime doctor believes that her condition has been in remission for at least the last five years.

WHEREAS, in March 2015, the Clemency and Pardons Board reviewed Ms. Clark's clemency petition, which included letters of support from her doctor and members of the community. Testimony before the Board was that Ms. Clark would like to pursue her faith by becoming a sister in her church, but the felony on her record limits her, pursuant to the policies of her church. Furthermore, Ms. Clark has attempted to volunteer at a local hospital, only to be rejected because of this conviction.

WHEREAS, the victim in this case, her father, fully supports Ms. Clark's clemency petition, and the Clark County Prosecuting Attorney does not oppose it. Ultimately, the Clemency and Pardons Board voted unanimously to recommend that Ms. Clark be granted a full pardon.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, Jay Inslee, by virtue of the power vested in me as Governor of the state of Washington, hereby grant to Marie Denise Clark this FULL AND UNCONDITIONAL pardon of her conviction for THIRD DEGREE ASSAULT, in Clark County Superior Court, Cause No. 98-1-02335-0, so that she may pursue her religious calling and volunteer work in her community.

ANDREW DONALD MICHELL

To All to Whom These Presents Shall Come, Greetings:

WHEREAS, in 1996, Andrew Donald Michell pleaded guilty to FIRST DEGREE BURGLARY, RESIDENTIAL BURGLARY, and three counts of FIRST DEGREE ROBBERY in Pierce County Superior Court, Cause No. 95-1-04964-0, after Mr. Michell, who as a 16-year old in 1995, drove accomplices to multiple residences to conduct robberies, and at one robbery site, one of Mr. Michell's accomplices assaulted two victims.

WHEREAS, Mr. Michell accepts full responsibility for his past conduct and expresses remorse. At the time of the crime, he was 16 years old. Since that time, the scientific and criminal justice communities have learned a significant amount about juvenile brain development and the difficulty juveniles have in engaging in behavior control, often leading to transient rashness, proclivity for risk, and inability to assess the full consequences of one's actions. For Mr. Michell, a psychological evaluation found that he suffered from serious clinical depression, and that he was emotionally immature for his age, such that his criminal activity reflected his difficulty in dealing with his anger and self-hatred rather than any development of criminal responsibility.

WHEREAS, since this crime, Mr. Michell earned his GED and completed many selfimprovement programs. In 2001, after considering these factors, Governor Gary Locke commuted Mr. Michell's sentence nine months before his scheduled release.

WHEREAS, in March 2015, the Clemency and Pardons Board reviewed Mr. Michell's petition for a pardon, which included letters of support from numerous members of the community. Testimony before the Board was that since Mr. Michell was released from prison, he has done extensive volunteer work domestically and internationally. He has also received invitations to speak to different groups to share his story; but, some of these invitations require Mr. Michell to travel to countries that prohibit the entry of individuals with felony records.

WHEREAS, one of the victims in this case supports Mr. Michell's petition, and the other victims have not opposed it. And, the Clemency and Pardons Board did not oppose Mr. Michell's clemency petition.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, Jay lnslee, by virtue of the power vested in me as Governor of the state of Washington, hereby grant to Andrew Donald Michell this FULL AND UNCONDITIONAL pardon of his convictions for FIRST DEGREE BURGLARY, RESIDENTIAL BURGLARY, and three counts of FIRST DEGREE ROBBERY in Pierce County Superior Court, Cause No. 95-1-04964-0, so that he may share his story and volunteer in countries that currently bar his entry due to these felony convictions.

This charge arose after Mr. Lecaros shoved and then struck his then-wife.

WHEREAS, Mr. Lecaros accepts full responsibility for his past conduct and expresses remorse, and he has satisfied all the conditions of his judgment and sentence, including paying off his legal financial obligations. He has also successfully completed a domestic violence batterers' treatment program.

WHEREAS, Mr. Lecaros is a Peruvian immigrant. In 2007, Mr. Lecaros became a legal U.S. resident. He also volunteers to assist U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services with fraud detection investigations.

WHEREAS, in December 2014, the Clemency and Pardons Board reviewed Mr. Lecaros' clemency petition, which included numerous letters of support from family, friends, and members of the community. Testimony before the Board was that Mr. Lecaros was working as a certified nursing assistant at the time of this criminal offense; but, since then, he has been unable to secure permanent employment in that line of work due to this conviction. Instead, he has only been able to work in lower-paying professions, creating challenges for him as he raises his teenage daughter.

WHEREAS, the victim in this case fully supports Mr. Lecaros' clemency petition, and attended his hearing; and, the King County Prosecuting Attorney's Office has expressed that it does not oppose the petition.

WHEREAS, the Clemency and Pardons Board voted unanimously to recommend that Mr. Lecaros be granted a full pardon. The Board stressed that it believed that this criminal incident was an aberration, and that Mr. Lecaros will be in a better position to provide for his daughter and support her into her college years if he can find employment in more lucrative fields.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, Jay Inslee, by virtue of the power vested in me as Governor of the state of Washington, hereby grant to Erwin Luis Lecaros this FULL AND UNCONDITIONAL pardon of his conviction for THIRD DEGREE ASSAULT-DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, in King County Superior Court, Cause No. 00-1-07376-0 SEA.

AISEN SENG BOUNTHONG

To All to Whom These Presents Shall Come, Greetings:

WHEREAS, in 1991, Aisen Seng Bounthong pleaded guilty to FIRST DEGREE ASSAULT in King County Superior Court, Cause No. 90-C-00195-9. He was sentenced to 8.5 years in jail, and $6,466.72 in legal financial obligations. This charge arose after a then-18 year old Mr. Bounthong and his friends stole a car, and while Mr. Bounthong was driving, his friends fired multiple shots from the vehicle, striking a victim.

WHEREAS, Mr. Bounthong accepts responsibility for his conduct, and he has served his sentence and has so far paid off almost $4,000 in legal financial obligations.

WHEREAS, following his release from prison in 1999, Mr. Bounthong has had no further criminal convictions. He is now married and has a four year old child. He succeeded in community custody, maintains steady employment, and by all accounts is a great father, husband, employee, and member of the community. He has been sober since 2008.

WHEREAS, in June 2015, the Clemency and Pardons Board reviewed Mr. Bounthong's petition for a pardon, which described Mr. Bounthong's difficult transition to America: he fled war-torn Laos as a 12 year old, spent time living in a refugee camp, and then lost his father at a young age, leaving him to raise his family. Because of this 25 year old conviction, Mr. Bounthong has a "deportable" status, meaning he is eligible for deportation at any time.

WHEREAS, neither the King County Prosecuting Attorney or any victims oppose Mr. Bounthong's petition. The Clemency and Pardons Board voted unanimously to recommend that Mr. Bounthong be granted a full pardon, reasoning that Mr. Bounthong's deportation to Laos, where he has no connections and would be considered unfriendly by the current regime, would disrupt his family and leave his wife and child to support themselves.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, Jay Inslee, by virtue of the power vested in me as Governor of the state of Washington, hereby grant to Aisen Seng Bounthong this FULL AND UNCONDITIONAL pardon of his conviction for FIRST DEGREE ASSAULT, in KING County Cause No. 90-C-00195-9.

MERCEDES MAPA SISON

To All to Whom These Presents Shall Come, Greetings:

WHEREAS, in 2004, Mercedes Mapa Sison pleaded guilty to THIRD DEGREE ASSAULT - DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, in Pierce County Superior Court, Cause No. 03-1-05991-1. She was sentenced to three days in jail and one year of community custody. She was also ordered to complete a domestic violence treatment program and pay $710 in legal financial obligations. This charge arose after Ms. Sison and her then husband had an altercation in their home and she accidentally stabbed him with a kitchen knife as he lunged at her.

WHEREAS, Ms. Sison accepts responsibility for her conduct, and she has satisfied all the conditions of her first-time offender judgment and sentence.

WHEREAS, this is the only conviction on Ms. Sison's record. At the time of this incident, she was a recent immigrant from the Philippines, and she had experienced physically and emotionally abusive relationships. She divorced her husband in 2004, and since then, she has served as the lone provider for her daughters.

WHEREAS, in September 2015, the Clemency and Pardons Board reviewed Ms. Sison's petition for a pardon, which included numerous letters of support from members of the community. The Board suggested that given the fact pattern involving her assault charge, Ms. Sison would likely have been able to raise an affirmative defense had she not opted to plead guilty. This conviction now prevents Ms. Sison from receiving State recognition as the legal caregiver to her disabled adult daughter.

WHEREAS, the Clemency and Pardons Board voted unanimously to recommend that Ms. Sison be granted a full pardon. The victim submitted a letter of support for Ms. Sison's petition, and the Pierce County Prosecutor does not oppose her petition.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, Jay Inslee, by virtue of the power vested in me as Governor of the state of Washington, hereby grant to Mercedes Mapa Sison this FULL AND UNCONDITIONAL pardon of her conviction for THIRD DEGREE ASSAULT DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, in Pierce County Cause No. 03-1-05991-1, so that she may receive legal recognition as the caretaker for her disabled adult daughter.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the state of Washington to be affixed at Olympia on this 15^th day of June, A.D., two thousand and sixteen.

WHEREAS, in 1990, Daniel Laurence Hunt pleaded guilty to THIRD DEGREE THEFT in Spokane County Superior Court, Cause No. 90-1-01745-2 and was sentenced to 10 days in jail and a $176 fine. This gross misdemeanor charge arose after Mr. Hunt participated as an accomplice in a non-violent theft of property owned by an acquaintance.

WHEREAS, Mr. Hunt accepts full responsibility for his past conduct and expresses remorse, and he has satisfied all the conditions of his judgment and sentence.

WHEREAS, Mr. Hunt has had no further convictions since 1990. He has maintained steady employment throughout his adult life and now works in law enforcement as a sergeant in the Blue Mound Police Department in Texas. This conviction on Mr. Hunt's record, though, limits his potential for advancement within his profession.

WHEREAS, in June 2015, the Clemency and Pardons Board reviewed Mr. Hunt's pardon petition, which included numerous letters of support from law enforcement personnel; and, the Office of the Spokane County Prosecuting Attorney does not oppose his petition.

WHEREAS, the Clemency and Pardons Board voted unanimously to recommend that Mr. Hunt be granted a full pardon.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, Jay Inslee, by virtue of the power vested in me as Governor of the state of Washington, hereby grant to Daniel Laurence Hunt this FULL AND UNCONDITIONAL pardon of his conviction for THIRD DEGREE THEFT, in Spokane County Cause No. 90-1-01745-2, so that he may fully pursue his professional goals and employment opportunities.

WHEREAS, Mr. Anderson accepts responsibility for his conduct, and he has satisfied all the conditions of his judgment and sentence, including paying off the $975.75 in legal financial obligations.

Mr. Anderson is currently enrolled in a bachelor's degree nursing program, but this conviction limits his career options in the medical nursing field.

WHEREAS, in June 2015, the Clemency and Pardons Board reviewed Mr. Anderson's petition for a pardon, which included numerous letters of support from professional colleagues and others. The Board questioned whether the fact pattern that resulted in this conviction should have ever been charged as a felony.

Following his release from custody, Mr. King shall serve 24 months of community custody under DOC supervision.

12. Enter into and successfully complete DOC programming and/or treatment as directed.

PROVIDED, that Mr. King shall remain under DOC supervision and explicitly follow th,e conditions established by that agency during the term of his community custody. Violation of any of the above conditions shall result in sanctions as deemed appropriate by DOC and may result in the termination of this Conditional Commutation as provided below. If Mr. King is taken into custody following any alleged violation, DOC shall hold a Community Custody Hearing. DOC may also require Mr. King to perform affirmative acts deemed appropriate to monitor compliance with the conditions and may issue warrants or detain Mr. King if he violates a condition.

ADDITIONALLY PROVIDED, that Mr. King may be detained pending judicial disposition of any new criminal charge or a final determination of whether a condition of this Conditional Commutation has been violated, if the Governor determines there are reasonable grounds to believe he has violated the above conditions of this Conditional Commutation, reason to be concerned that he would pose a risk to any person or to the community, or that there is a possibility that Mr. King may abscond if not detained. If detained, Mr. King will be provided a preliminary hearing as promptly as convenient after arrest, to determine whether there are reasonable groun ds to believe he has violated the above conditions.

WHEREAS, in 1951, Frederick Stanley Kubasta was found guilty of SECOND DEGREE BURGLARY in Island County Superior Court, Cause No. 1539, and was sentenced to 12 months in prison. This conviction arose after then-18-year old Mr. Kubasta and two associates entered an empty cabin and stole property and drank alcohol from the refrigerator.

WHEREAS, Mr. Kubasta accepts full responsibility for his past conduct and expresses remorse. He has satisfied all the conditions of his judgment and sentence.

WHEREAS, Mr. Kubasta has not been convicted of a crime in the 65 years since this conviction. He has raised two children and maintained steady employment throughout his adult life until retiring.

REVOCATION OF CONDITIONAL COMMUTATION OF

JOSIAH MALIK RASHID

To All to Whom These Presents Shall Come, Greetings:

WHEREAS, in September 2015, the Clemency and Pardons Board reviewed Mr. Rashid's clemency petition, which included several letters of support from Juvenile Rehabilitation Administration personnel, family, friends, and community members. Moreover, the King County Prosecuting Attorney's Office did not oppose Mr. Rashid's clemency petition.

WHEREAS, at his hearing, Mr. Rashid described the strong support network he had in place to help him successfully reintegrate into the community. He received offers for employment upon his release, and he had been offered a place to live. Additionally, Mr. Rashid had already been accepted into local colleges, where he intended to further his education.

WHEREAS, the Clemency and Pardons Board unanimously voted to recommend that the Governor commute Mr. Rashid's sentence prior to January 29, 2016, the date Mr. Rashid was scheduled to age out of the Juvenile Rehabilitation Administration and be transferred to DOC custody.

WHEREAS, at the time of his crime in 2011, Mr. Rashid was just 16 years old. The scientific and criminal justice communities have documented the difficulty the juvenile brain has in engaging in behavior control, often leading juveniles to exhibit a transient rashness, proclivity for risk, and inability to assess the full consequences of their actions.

WHEREAS, on November 10, 2015, I granted Mr. Rashid a commutation, conditioned on Mr. Rashid's compliance with numerous defined terms. These conditions required Mr. Rashid to, among other things, obey all laws and follow all DOC conditions and orders issued by his community corrections officer. Prior to receiving this commutation, Mr. Rashid agreed to its terms in writing.

WHEREAS, on March 21, 2016, Mr. Rashid failed to report a change of employment. And on March 23, 2016, Mr. Rashid failed to report as directed by his community corrections officer. Fallowing an April 1, 2016, hearing, a DOC hearings officer found that these actions violated the terms of his community supervision. I reviewed these alleged violations of his Conditional Commutation but declined to pursue a revocation at that time. Instead, I ordered DOC to review Mr. Rashid's transition plan to adjust it to improve his chances to successfully reintegrate into the community.

WHEREAS, on August 9, 2016, following a physical dispute at the home of the mother of his months-old child, as police were detaining Mr. Rashid, he hit and damaged a police vehicle. Following an August 23, 2016, hearing, a DOC hearings officer found that this action violated the terms of his community supervision.

WHEREAS, DOC reports state that Mr. Rashid has experienced a "difficult time adjusting to supervision," and has been "unable to succeed in living a productive and crime free lifestyle," citing his continuous contacts with police and arrests for domestic-violence related incidents. His conduct has resulted in multiple violations of his community supervision.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, Jay Inslee, by vi1tue of the power vested in me as Governor of the state of Washington under RCW 10.01.120, revoke Mr. Rashid' s conditional commutation.

LE'TAXIONE

To All to Whom These Presents Shall Come, Greetings:

WHEREAS, in 1998 Le'Taxione (Ernest A. Carter) was found guilty of two counts of FIRST DEGREE ROBBERY, Pierce County Superior Court Cause No. 97-1-04547-1. In 1997, Le'Taxione entered and then, pretending he had a weapon, held up a Tacoma Subway, before then holding up an AM/PM. Between these two robberies, Le'Taxione took roughly $200 from the cashiers.

WHEREAS, this offense qualified Le'Taxione as a "Three Strikes" persistent offender and resulted in a life sentence. In addition to this conviction, Le'Taxione was convicted of assaulting a police officer in California in 1983, and also attempted murder with a firearm in 1990 in Oregon.

WHEREAS, Le'Taxione has served almost 20 years on his sentence.

WHEREAS, Le'Taxione accepts full responsibility for his past criminal conduct and expresses remorse. While in prison, he has taken personal development courses, and he has earned his GED. He has not had a serious infraction in six years, and he now commits much of his time to mentoring young incarcerated individuals, helping them to transition out of gang activity.

WHEREAS, in December 2015, the Clemency and Pardons Board reviewed Le'Taxione's clemency petition, which included several letters of support and certificates demonstrating the programming that he has completed while incarcerated. Also, no victims expressed any opposition to Le'Taxione's petition.

WHEREAS, the testimony before the Board was that Le'Taxione is erroneously classified as a persistent offender because the law on comparable out-of-state offenses has evolved since his conviction; and, his earlier conviction in California, under today's law, would not be considered comparable to a Washington strike offense.

A written notice of the Governor's intent to review the alleged violations and revoke or amend the Conditional Commutation may then be mailed to the most recent address Mr. Shirley has provided to the Office of the Governor or, if Mr. Shirley is in custody, to his place of detention.

The hearing officer will provide Mr. Shirley an opportunity to be heard and to present witnesses and documentary evidence that he has met all conditions upon which the Conditional Commutation is granted. The hearing officer shall present findings of fact and a transcript of the hearing to the Governor for the Governor's final and conclusive determination on whether Mr. Shirley has violated the conditions of this Conditional Commutation.

ADDITIONALLY PROVIDED, that in the event Mr. Shirley is convicted anywhere at any time of any offense the elements of which would classify the crime as a gross misdemeanor or felony in the state of Washington, this Conditional Commutation may be revoked and the sentence of the court reinstated, whereupon Mr. Shirley will be immediately returned to any such facility that the DOC Secretary deems appropriate.

ADDITIONALLY PROVIDED, that Mr. Shirley may be detained pending judicial disposition of any new criminal charge or a final determination of whether a condition of this Conditional Commutation has been violated, if the Governor determines there are reasonable grounds to believe he has violated the above conditions of this Conditional Commutation, reason to be concerned that he would pose a risk to any person or to the community, or that there is a possibility that Mr. Shirley may abscond if not detained. If detained, Mr. Shirley will be provided a preliminary hearing, as promptly as convenient after arrest, to determine whether there are reasonable grounds to believe he has violated the above conditions.

CONDITIONAL COMMUTATION

To All to Whom These Presents Shall Come, Greetings:

WHEREAS, in 1996, a jury found Jacqueline Marie Fletcher guilty of five counts of SECOND DEGREE ROBBERY in Snohomish County Superior Court, Cause No. 96-1-00379-9, after she entered and then robbed numerous Snohomish County business establishments over a two-week period. These convictions resulted in her "Third Strike" under Washington's persistent offender accountability act; accordingly, Ms. Fletcher is serving a life sentence, without the possibility of parole.

WHEREAS, Ms. Fletcher is remorseful, accepts responsibility, and has apologized for her behavior. While in prison, Ms. Fletcher has earned her GED and has participated in several self-improvement programs, including Narcotics Anonymous.

WHEREAS, in December 2015, the Clemency and Pardons Board reviewed Ms. Fletcher's clemency petition, which included several letters of support from friends and community members.

WHEREAS, the testimony before the Board was that Ms. Fletcher will have a strong suppmi network ready to assist her in transitioning to the community. She has already received offers for housing and transportation upon her upon release and hopes to complete her college work to become a counselor and life coach.

WHEREAS, had Ms. Fletcher not been sentenced under the persistent offender accountability act, she likely would have received a standard range sentence of less than ten years. She has now served over 20 years on this sentence.

WHEREAS, the Snohomish County Prosecuting Attorney's Office does not oppose Ms. Fletcher's petition, nor do any of.the victims.

WHEREAS, the Clemency and Pardons Board unanimously voted to recommend that the Governor commute Ms. Fletcher's life sentence. And,

Under this transition plan, the initial in-custody phase of her transition must terminate on August 1, 2018, and during this time, Ms. Fletcher must participate in positive programming as assigned by DOC to prepare her for transition to the community. Ms. Fletcher will then serve an additional 18 months on community supervision.

If Ms. Fletcher is taken into custody following any alleged violation, DOC shall hold a Community Custody Hearing. DOC may also require Ms. Fletcher to perform affirmative acts deemed appropriate to monitor compliance with the conditions and may issue warrants or detain Ms. Fletcher if she violates a condition.
