ATLANTA (AP) - Georgia’s governor has reappointed a member of the state parole board to a full seven-year term.
The State Board of Pardons and Paroles announced the reappointment of board member Jacqueline Bunn. She was initially appointed to the board over the summer to fill the unexpired term of former member Albert Murray, who retired.
Bunn was appointed executive director of the state’s Criminal Justice Coordinating Council in 2013. She previously worked as an assistant attorney general focused on civil rights and as deputy director of the Georgia Department of Public Safety’s legal services unit.
The state parole board consists of five full-time voting members who determine who is released on parole and whether clemency is appropriate in death penalty cases. They also have the authority to grant pardons and reprieves.
