EXHIBIT D
Bachelor’s Degree – Foundational Academic Achievement and Pre-Offense Educational Standing
Petitioner: Justin-Ames Gamache
Docket No.: 1127-10-13 Bncr
Court: Vermont Superior Court

Description:
Photograph of a framed diploma awarded to Petitioner by Liberty University, conferring the degree of:

Bachelor of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies
Dated October, 2013
The diploma is presented in an official Liberty University frame and bears the institutional seal and authorized signatures of university officials. The degree confirms Petitioner’s enrollment and completion of undergraduate studies between 2010 and 2013.

Purpose:
This exhibit supports the Petitioner’s claim of sustained rehabilitation by establishing his active academic engagement during the period leading up to the 2013 misdemeanor conviction. From 2010 through 2013, Petitioner was continuously enrolled at Liberty University, culminating in the completion of a Bachelor of Science degree.

This directly rebuts any assertion of preexisting misconduct or criminal intent and confirms that the 2013 incident occurred during a period of legitimate and progressive academic achievement. The timing and completion of this degree indicate Petitioner’s commitment to self-improvement and civic responsibility even before adjudication.

Therefore, this exhibit supports relief under 13 V.S.A. §§ 7602–7607 and aligns with the rehabilitative spirit of Vermont’s expungement statute as affirmed in In re A.M., 2015 VT 109. It underscores Petitioner’s lawful conduct, educational stability, and overall fitness for full expungement and constitutional redress.
