The Honorable, The Legislature:
As required by Article V, Section 6 of the Wisconsin Constitution, I am submitting the annual Executive Clemency Report to the Legislature, covering those clemency cases upon which final disposition were rendered for applicants during the 2006 calendar year. Below is a list of applicants that received a full pardon in 2006:
Joseph Betsinger, (date of birth September 5, 1950) convicted on or about January 26, 1971 of Theft, for stealing two Holstein calves, in La Crosse County and was sentenced to eighteen months in prison; and convicted on or about October 28, 1973 of Operating a Vehicle without Owner's Consent in La Crosse County and was sentenced to one year in prison. The Governor's Pardon Advisory Board recommended by a vote of 5-1 to grant a pardon. Following the Board's recommendation, Mr. Betsinger was pardoned on March 2, 2006 because of his extensive personal growth, his dedication to community service, the length of time since the crime, and his valid job concerns.
