UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA SCHOOL OF LAW — Eric Weakley, a member of the so-called “Culpeper Three” and a client of the Innocence Project at the University of Virginia School of Law, has received an absolute pardon. Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam granted the relief Tuesday. It is the fourth pardon for a clinic client since July. Weakley was convicted of second-degree murder in 2001 for the shooting death of Thelma Scroggins, and charged alongside Michael Hash and Jason Kloby, together known as the Culpeper Three. Weakley, who was 15 when the crime took place in Culpeper, Virginia, in 1996, falsely confessed to the murder, implicating Hash and Kloby, who were 16 and 19 at the time of the crime.
