She fitted all of the criteria for former President Barack Obama&#8217;s Clemency Project 2014, but was denied just days before the end of his term.<br \/>\n&#8220;This is the last time I&#8217;ll put my family through the heartache of expectations,&#8221; Johnson told the BBC at the time.<\/p>\n<p>Amy Povah, the founder of CAN-DO Clemency, has been advocating for Johnson&#8217;s release since 2014 and says she has helped collect signatures from 70 organisations who support the pardon, as well as a letter of support from the retired warden of Johnson&#8217;s prison. \u00a0All of that material may be submitted to President Trump.<br \/>\n&#8220;She&#8217;s always stood out to me as being exceptional,&#8221;
