Not pardoned; exonerated. Meaning that in the eyes of the law he was never guilty in the first place. It was a miscarriage of justice. Perhaps Krivit feels the original sentence was just and should not have been overturned. However, legal decisions are absolute. They are binary, and not disputable. A person is either guilty or innocent in the eyes of the law. - Jed
