President Trump commuted Larry Hoover's life sentence, but he still faces a lengthy state sentence. Advocates continue to push for further clemency in Illinois.


Overview
President Donald Trump has commuted the federal life sentence of Larry Hoover, co-founder of the Gangster Disciples, who has been imprisoned for over five decades. Hoover, 74, was serving multiple life sentences for federal drug conspiracy and a state murder conviction. His attorney confirmed the commutation to time served, but Hoover still faces a 200-year state sentence for a 1973 murder. Advocates, including his legal team, are lobbying Illinois Governor JB Pritzker for clemency. The commutation follows years of advocacy, including meetings at Mar-a-Lago, and reflects ongoing discussions about criminal justice reform.
