Sentence Review Unit
The King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office is committed to criminal justice reform. Our Sentence Review Unit (SRU) reviews applications for sentence review or early release.
Effective January 2nd through to April 2nd, 2025, the Sentence Review Unit (SRU), clemency, and 6164 work will be on pause until further notice. During the pause, you can feel free to email requests to paosentencereviewinquiry@kingcounty.gov understanding that you will not receive an immediate response. We will respond to requests in Quarter 2 of 2025.
The purpose of the Sentence Review Unit (SRU) is to grant sentence review and early release to select cases when it serves in the interest of justice. We select cases and determine whether they need resentencing after an in-depth review.
Our work includes:
- Discretionary resentencing (RCW 36.27.130)
- Clemency and Pardons Board (RCW 9.94A.885)
- Indeterminate Sentence Review Board (RCW 9.95.100)
- Non-DNA based innocence claims
- Wrongful convictions
