Surely by now we know that the mere fact someone has been convicted of a crime, and spent years in prison, does not make them guilty of it and it certainly doesn't mean they shouldn't be pardoned.
They center around the judge who presided over the defendant's trial and sentenced him to life in prison.
So it's all very strange and murky.
What I take exception to is a tweet that says only that someone has been convicted of something terrible and that they have been pardoned, without any context.
And that's incredibly irresponsible, especially if you're a journalist.
