An Illinois Order Granting Certificate Of Innocence is a court document issued by a judge in the state of Illinois that declares an individual to be factually innocent of a crime for which they were previously convicted. The certificate is issued to individuals who have been exonerated of their previous convictions due to new evidence proving their innocence. There are two types of Illinois Order Granting Certificate Of Innocence: those issued after post-conviction proceedings, and those issued after executive clemency proceedings. After post-conviction proceedings, a judge reviews the evidence presented and may determine that the individual is factually innocent of the crime. After executive clemency proceedings, the governor of the state reviews the evidence and may grant a pardon or commutation if the individual is found to be innocent. The Illinois Order Granting Certificate Of Innocence is a legal document that provides an individual with the exoneration they deserve and can be used to restore the individual's civil rights.
