MESSAGE FROM THE GOVERNOR
COMMUTATION OF SENTENCE
for
Tamera Schoen (a.k.a Kristy Williams)
TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, GREETINGS:
On January 17, 1992, Tamera Schoen was sentenced by the Superior Court for King County for the State of Washington to a term of 43 months in prison after being found guilty on December 9, 1991, of numerous counts of Possessing Stolen Property.
Ms. Schoen is terminally ill. She has been diagnosed with adenocarcinoma (cancer) of unknown primary origin which has metastasized to the liver. As of October 30, 1992, her medical oncologist and primary physician indicated that she is not a surgical candidate and that the goal of therapy is to preserve the quality of her life as long as possible with analgesics and chemotherapy. Ms. Schoen is tentatively scheduled for chemoembolization of her adenocarcinoma at Tacoma General Hospital on December 7, 1992. This hospitalization will require a three to four-day stay at Tacoma General Hospital.
On December 3, 1992, the Clemency and Pardons Board met to review the clemency petition presented on behalf of Ms Tamera Schoen. The Board voted unanimously to recommend that the Governor grant clemency to Ms. Schoen so that she can be transferred to a hospice situation immediately following her hospitalization at Tacoma General Hospital.
A hospice arrangement has been made in the home of Ms. Cynthia Locke. Ms. Locke is a resident of Snohomish County and presently resides at 19918 Damson Road, Lynnwood, Washington. Ms. Locke is a registered nurse and is licensed in the State of Washington. Ms. Locke has been providing adult in-home hospice care.
Because of the medical condition of Ms. Schoen, this is an extraordinary case and justifies granting clemency at this time for the remainder of Ms. Schoen's sentence.
The period of this clemency shall begin from the time of release from the hospital following the tentatively scheduled chemoembolization on or following December 7, 1992. If the necessary hospitalization is delayed, this clemency shall be effective in a delayed fashion to coincide with her release from the hospital following the medical procedure. In the event that her physician certifies that she is unable to receive the chemoembolization at any point in the foreseeable future due to her medical condition, she shall be released from the Department of Corrections to the hospice in-home care provided by Ms. Cynthia Locke no later than December 14, 1992.
During the pendency of this placement, a community corrections officer will monitor the placement on a periodic basis.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Booth Gardner, Governor of the State of Washington, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the laws of the State of Washington, do hereby grant the clemency for Tamera Schoen, Department of Corrections #940821, for her conviction for several counts of Possession of Stolen Property, pursuant to the conditions set forth herein.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the State of Washington to be affixed at Olympia, this 4th day of December, A.D. nineteen hundred and ninety-two.
Booth Gardner, Governor of Washington.

CONDITIONAL COMMUTATION ORDER
Arlyn Davis
On September 30, 1981, Arlyn Davis, and his co-defendant, John Wright, entered pleas of guilty to the crime of First Degree Murder. The crime occurred on March 22, 1981. Arlyn Davis was 15 years old at the time, having turned 15 years old on March 20, 1981. John Wright, the co-defendant, was 16 years old.
The victim was a 36-year-old man who had offered Mr. Davis a ride when Mr. Davis was hitchhiking several months prior to the date of this offense. The victim offered to give Mr. Davis drugs and assistance at any time he needed them, as Mr. Davis was running away from home. Mr Davis subsequently contacted the victim who did supply him with drugs. This eventually led to Mr. Davis' involvement in homosexual activity with the victim, and ultimately the victim became Mr. Davis' pimp. The victim encouraged Mr. Davis to recruit other young men, one of which was John Wright. Mr. Wright and Mr. Davis concluded that they needed to get out of the situation and made the decision to steal money from the victim, buy plane tickets, and go to Florida. During the robbery attempt, the victim resisted and was choked with an electrical cord by Mr. Wright. Both defendants planned and executed the robbery, although there had been no plan to take the life of the victim. The two boys received $11,000 as a result of the robbery, but were apprehended at SeaTac Airport before they could leave for Florida. The $11,000 was fully recovered.
Mr. Davis was sentenced to life in prison. The Thurston County prosecuting attorney, Patrick Sutherland, and the sentencing judge, Gerry Alexander, both recommended to the parole board that the minimum term be set at its lowest possible level, which was 20 years at the time of sentencing. Mr Davis' Sentencing Reform Act guideline range is 240 to 320 months. He has jail time credits of 191 days, and therefore, has an adjusted guideline range of 233 to 313 months. The indeterminate Sentence Review Board set Mr. Davis duration of confinement at 240 months, as mandated by statute.
From the time that Mr. Davis arrived at the Walla Walla State Penitentiary in 1987 to the present time, he has been free of any infractions. Prior to being sent to Walla Walla, Mr. Davis married his girlfriend, Patty, in 1985. From that time on, Mr. Davis began to rehabilitate himself. Mr. Davis was involved with and completed both mental health counseling and drug treatment counseling. He completed his high school diploma and has taken various college classes. He is employed as the inventory manager and purchaser for institutional industries at Walla Walla.
A psychological evaluation of Mr. Davis was completed on September 29, 1992, by Dr. Ronald D. Page, clinical psychologist. Dr. Page is supportive of clemency for Mr. Davis.
The Thurston County prosecuting attorney, Patrick Sutherland, investigated Mr. Davis' progress at Walla Walla thoroughly by both conferring with Mr. Davis' counselor at Walla Walla and examining his institutional file. Prosecutor Sutherland recommends that Mr. Davis be considered for clemency.
At the request of the Clemency and Pardons Board, the Indeterminate Sentence Review Board conducted an investigation into Mr. Davis' "paroleability" and conducted a hearing on that issue on October 23, 1992. At that hearing, the Department of Corrections was represented and took the position that it had no objection to clemency. After its investigation, the Indeterminate Sentence Review Board supported and encouraged a grant of clemency to Mr Davis who is now 26 years of age.
The parents of Mr. Davis, Edward and Nicolette Davis, have been supportive of their son since the time of his arrest. They reside in Honolulu, Hawaii, and run two businesses.
Mr. Davis has accepted responsibility for his actions and admitted his guilt. He has shown appropriate remorse and his chances for re-offending are low. Mr. Davis has completed all of the programming possible with the Department of Corrections. During this process, he has matured a great deal and has taken advantage of every opportunity to improve himself. It is unlikely that Mr. Davis will present any future danger to society if released at this time, subject to the conditions set forth herein.
The Clemency and Pardons Board, at its December 3, 1992, meeting, reviewed and discussed the petition of Mr. Davis. A presentation was made on his behalf by his attorney, Mr. Ed Schaller. After deliberation, the Board voted 3-2 to recommend to the Governor that clemency be granted.
This is an extraordinary case and justice is served by granting a conditional clemency at this time for the remainder of Mr. Davis' sentence. By this order, I hereby waive the 20-year mandatory minimum term set by RCW 9.95.115, and direct the Indeterminate Sentence Review Board to parole Mr. Davis. The Indeterminate Sentence Review Board shall impose, at a minimum, the following conditions in its parole order:
1. Upon release from the institution, report as instructed to a community corrections officer and thereafter make a correct report as often as directed.
2. Secure written permission of a community corrections officer before leaving the State of Washington.
3. Obey all laws and abide by any special conditions imposed by the Indeterminate Sentence Review Board or any written instructions issued by a community corrections officer of the Department of Corrections.
4. At no time, purchase, own, possess, or control any firearm or deadly weapon.
5. Submit to a search of person, residence, vehicle, and possessions whenever requested by a community corrections officer.
6. Obey all court orders.
7. Reside in a residence approved by the assigned community corrections officer and secure permission of the community officer before changing residences.
8. Do not use or possess controlled substances of any kind.
9. Submit to drug or alcohol monitoring, if directed by the community corrections officer, through an agency approved by the community corrections officer. As a condition of clemency, sign a full release of information allowing the treatment or monitoring agency to release information to the community corrections officer and the Indeterminate Sentence Review Board. This release of information must be effective until Mr Davis is granted a final discharge.
10.Do not consume any alcoholic beverages.
11.Enter into full employment or an education program within 30 days of release.

Sherwood J. Trulson was found guilty of assault in the third degree by the Superior Court of the State of Washington for King County on January 25, 1985, and he was thereupon sentenced to a term of two years community supervision by the Department of Corrections (reduced to one year after one year completed) and 240 hours of community service and attendance at an alcohol treatment program. Since this time, Sherwood Trulson has maintained a record free of further felony convictions and has involved himself in the creation of a new company, Environmental Waste of America, Inc. He has also shown his commitment to rehabilitation through his recovery from alcohol abuse. For these reasons, the Clemency and Pardons Board recommended that a pardon be granted in order to further the role of Mr. Trulson as an active member of the business community, his family and the State of Washington.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Booth Gardner, Governor of the State of Washington, do hereby pardon Sherwood J. Trulson from the judgment and sentence of assault in the second degree entered January 25, 1985, by the Superior Court of the State of Washington for King County.

Mark Nelson plead guilty to Simple Assault in the State of Washington, a crime which was committed on February 15, 1980, and he was sentenced with a deferred finding followed by a dismissal one year later.
This is the only assault in Mr. Nelson's background. Since that point in time, Mr. Nelson has enrolled in a nurse training program at Shoreline Community College. In the course of that training, both he, and the schools administration have asked that this simple assault be removed from his criminal background record. For the reason of furthering his educational pursuits, and the relationship of that educational pursuit to his rehabilitation, the Clemency and Pardons Board recommended to the Governor that a pardon be granted.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Booth Gardner, Governor of the State of Washington, do hereby pardon Mark Nelson from the sentence imposed for simple assault committed on February 15, 1980.
IN WITNESS THEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the State of Washington to be affixed at Olympia this 24th day of August, A. D. nineteen hundred and ninety-two.
