Oldtimer Granted Pardon After Decades of Awaiting Justice
Roy Page, 76, pardoned by Minnesota Board of Pardons for a 1924 murder he says he did not commit. The pardon clears his conviction, nullifies the charge, and removes the need to disclose it outside judicial proceedings. Page spent 39 years in prison after a life sentence for the shooting of Grace Mogul in St. Paul. He was paroled in 1963 and advocated for years with attorney Jack Nordby leading to the extraordinary pardon. He called it justice and said he could die a happy man.
