Jelly Roll Was Pardoned for His Two Felony Convictions
Jelly Roll has officially received a pardon from the state of Tennessee.
Yesterday, Governor Bill Lee pardoned Jelly for two felony convictions. One was for a 2003 robbery . . . and the other was a 2008 drug possession, both in Davidson County.

Jelly has said he wanted the pardon so he could “be an inspiration for people who are now where I used to be” and to show that “change is truly possible.”
Jelly is truly taking advantage of his second chance. What a comeback story.
