Update: Gov. Baker has withdrawn his his petition for the Amiraults' pardons. “Following yesterday’s hearing, it is apparent that there are not sufficient votes from the Governor’s Council to support a pardon for the Amiraults.'
Update:
"The evidence underlying these convictions is based on biased interviews that rendered the [children's] accounts unreliable," Sultan said."In such cases where the court system fails, clemency is the proper vehicle to rectify that." She said her husband is still on parole and will remain so for another year. She said he wears an ankle bracelet that monitors his movements and has had difficulty finding employment. Gerald Amirault and his sister are required to register as sex offenders. Patti Amirault said she wants to be able to live out their retirement without the shadow of this case.
"My child and many others still can't get past what was done to them," Hurley-McCarthy said."The fears, nightmares and struggles faced daily due to the sexual abuse by the Amiraults. Can you tell me when my daughter, myself and my family will get our pardon? When my daughter will be able to erase what happened to her 38 years ago?"
"This person doesn't deserve a pardon," Devaney said."I stand by the Parole Board. God bless every one of them for voting no."
