Could Jelly Roll Get Pardoned In Tennessee?

The Tennessee Board of Parole just recommended that Jelly Roll receive a full pardon.   If it happens, that would mean his past felony conviction for aggravated assault would no longer be on his record.  Here’s what Jelly said at his parole hearing: “I want to be an inspiration for people who are now where I used to be… to let them know that change is truly possible.”

Jelly Roll has been very honest about his past.  He served time for drug crimes and still has a felony conviction for aggravated assault on his record.

Nashville Sheriff, Daron Hall, spoke on behalf of Jelly at the parole meeting:  “One year ago I wrote Governor Bill Lee asking for a full pardon for Jason “Jelly Roll” DeFord . . . Today the board unanimously recommended his pardon.  It’s now in the hands of our governor.”
