Eventually, Iverson received clemency from Virginia Governor DouglasWilder and the Virginia Circuit Court of Appeals, who overturned the conviction for insufficient evidence. Because of the incident, Allen was forced to finish his senior year at Richard Milburn High School (a school for at-risk students).

After he finished high school, Allen was approached by Georgetown University officials, who offered him a full scholarship and a spot on the Georgetown Hoyas basketball team. Iverson accepted the offer with no other college option.
