On January 15, 2026, Jerry James was granted a pardon on a 26-year sentence by former Virginia Gov. Youngkin. Jerry’s wife, Paulettra James, has been a staunch FAMM member for years.
At one point over the years, Paulettra had the chance to hand-deliver Jerry’s clemency petition to the governor, saying, “I know you and your wife are people of God, and so are we. Please read his petition. I beg you, please.”
