WHAT THE RECORD SHOWS
The Justice Department list records the commutation on September 3, 2026, one of six commutations in a batch that also carried twenty-three pardons. It gives his sentencing date as August 4, 2020 and his sentence as 120 months' imprisonment plus five years' supervised release.
Haymon is one of eleven of the thirty recipients that former U.S. Pardon Attorney Liz Oyer was able to identify when she wrote on September 8, where she refers to him as Jerry Haymon IV. Oyer recorded that he and Kevin Harden had been reported by Marijuana Moment and that both men were serving prison sentences for crimes related to marijuana trafficking. The Ledger ran all thirty names in this grant against FEC contribution records for the 2024 and 2026 cycles and found no contribution it could tie to a recipient.
RESPONSE
White House pardon czar Alice Marie Johnson, announcing the grants in a September 4 post on X, wrote that September 3 was “a powerful day for second chances” and described the thirty as “deserving individuals” whose cases her team had reviewed. Johnson's post did not name Haymon, and the cited reports carry no statement from him or his lawyers.
Correction to the shared entry, September 2026 batch of 30. An earlier version said Emory Jones did not appear on the Justice Department list and described his case as a 2000 conspiracy. The list shows his pardon dated September 8, 2026, and gives October 15, 2000 as his sentencing date. Corrected September 18, 2026.
