[Question #56] You must write in the first date on which an exoneration occurred. If the exoneration occurred through a governor’s pardon, use the date of the pardon. If the exoneration occurred through legislative action, use the date the bill was passed. If the exoneration occurred through a court declaration of innocence, or an overturned or set aside conviction with prejudice, use the date of the opinion or order. If the exoneration court’s occurred through other court action, coupled with a decision to dismiss charges or prosecutor’s vacate the conviction, use the date at which this action was given legal effect (i.e. the date that the court grants the motion to vacate or the date that the prosecutor dismisses the charges). Length of time between trial resolution and exoneration (time_to_exoner): scale This will be calculated for you. Length of time served from conviction to release (time_served): scale [Question #59(a)] Write in. Measured in months. For erroneous convictions, the time served should begin when the defendant was convicted of the relevant crimes, even if the defendant was in prison earlier awaiting trial, and end when the defendant was released from prison. If the defendant remained in prison due to another conviction, use the date on which the defendant was exonerated as the release date. If the defendant was released on bond or was paroled and then returned to prison, use the time between conviction and final release from prison (do not subtract the time spend on bond, parole, etc).
