Since the creation of New Jersey’s Clemency Advisory Board, more than 4,500 people have applied for clemency.

Tuesday’s pardons include 72-year-old Clourer Grady, who was convicted of drug possession charges in the late 1980s.

Grady says she has since cleaned up her life, gotten a degree and become a drug and alcohol counselor for Trinitas Regional Medical Center. She calls her full pardon a “true blessing.”
