Background
Danny Preston Conrad was a postal employee who was convicted of embezzlement in the Southern District of Georgia in the late 1970s.
The Case
In August 1979, Conrad was sentenced to three years of probation, which included a condition of 52 weeks of "weekend jail time." He was convicted of embezzling funds or property while employed by the U.S. Postal Service. His case is a rare example of a decades-old misdemeanor or low-level felony being addressed by presidential clemency long after the sentence was served, likely to restore rights or clear a long-standing criminal record.
The Pardon
On January 15, 2026, President Trump granted Conrad a full pardon.
