There was great turnout this week as Michael Johnson’s clemency petition was presented to the Prisoner Review Board! They now have 60 days to make a confidential recommendation to the Governor, who can then act with or against their recommendation. Please keep Michael, his mother Mary Johnson (with the walker in the front row), and his whole family in your prayers.
