The commutation, first reported by the news website NOTUS, was confirmed by a White House official speaking on the condition of anonymity because it had not been formally announced.
Hoover was imprisoned in connection with a murder in 1973, and he was convicted for running a criminal enterprise in 1998. He later renounced his criminal past and petitioned for a reduced sentence.
Attorneys with Bonjean Law Group PLLC provided the following statement on Hoover’s behalf:
In a historic development, Larry Hoover’s federal life sentences have been commuted by President Donald Trump. Mr. Hoover, who is now 75 years old, spent nearly 30 years in solitary confinement at ADX Florence – the most restrictive, draconian supermax prison in the United States. Attorneys for Mr. Hoover, Jennifer Bonjean of the Bonjean Law Group and Justin Moore of Stafford Moore, have worked tirelessly through the Federal Court system to secure Mr. Hoover’s relief [sic] with no success. The Courts have demonstrated a complete unwillingness to consider Mr. Hoover’s considerable growth and complete rehabilitation. Despite the Court’s unwillingness to do the right thing, Mr. Hoover has been able to keep his voice alive through the incredible work of many advocates and supporters. Thankfully, Mr. Hoover’s pleas were heard by President Trump who took action to deliver justice for Mr. Hoover. We are thrilled to see that Mr. Hoover will be released from Federal Custody.”
