HB 1010 Relief; Davis, Robert Paul.

Introduced by: David J. Toscano | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Claims; Robert Davis. Provides relief in the amount of $582,313 to Robert Davis, who was incarcerated from 2004 until 2015 after entering an Alford Plea to charges of first-degree and second-degree murder. On December 15, 2016, Governor McAuliffe granted an Absolute Pardon to Davis, after two witnesses who had testified against him recanted their testimony and law enforcement stated that his confession was improperly obtained.

Davis's relief would be paid as follows: (i) an initial lump sum of $116,463 to be paid within 60 days immediately following the execution of a release by Davis from any present or future claims he may have and (ii) the sum of $465,850 to purchase an annuity before September 30, 2018, for the primary benefit of Davis with the terms structured in his best interests. In addition, the bill entitles Davis to receive up to $10,000 for tuition for career and technical training within the Virginia Community College System.
