Consultation with Attorneys Concerning Clemency in Capital Cases

Since the Georgia Board of Pardons and Paroles (the “Georgia Parole Board”) holds the exclusive power in the State of Georgia to grant clemency in capital cases, it is important for death row inmates and their legal representatives to be knowledgeable about the way capital cases are handled and perceived by the Georgia Parole Board. As a former Georgia Parole Board Member for seven years, Postconviction Consultant Milton “Buddy” Nix, Jr. has a unique understanding of clemency matters. Mr. Nix is available for consultation to provide insight regarding factors which should be addressed in clemency petitions and regarding topics which attorneys representing death row clients should anticipate from Georgia Parole Board Members during the clemency hearing. Needless to say, it is important to have an advocate knowledgeable in clemency matters working on behalf of a condemned inmate to maximize the chances that clemency will be granted, and no other law firm in the State of Georgia is more qualified to provide that service than McIntyre & Associates.
