Mark Wahlberg asks Massachusetts for pardon in 1988 assault charges so to become more active in law

[Cornish]

Marky mark made some good music, he was in some movies. So I can forgive him for poking a dude with a stick.

However, he will never be forgiven for the Max Payne movie.

I don't know, he might get charged with killing another archbishop.

I wouldn't offer a pardon to someone who committed a violent crime. There's a huge list of people who've been convicted of stuff like burglaries and drug possession, and they'd all be ahead of violent offenders if I was deciding who gets a pardon. You also shouldn't get credit for turning your life around, you're supposed to live a noncriminal life to start with. The fact he turned his life around is good for him, it means he lived a better life than if he hadn't. It doesn't undo what he did.

[QUOTE=Lachz0r;46648094]i think not only should wahlberg get a pardon for this, but all convicts should be able to have their records expunged eventually. i think one of the big failings of the justice system is how a conviction pretty much haunts you for life[/QUOTE]

i didnt know you were a crook

He was sentenced and served his time. After that he stayed out of trouble. How much more does he have to pay? I think he has already paid his debt. What harm is a pardon going to do? Should we fuck people over for life due to a mistake made in the past? A mistake in which he already paid for.

you got me, i'm a convict myself and the reason i argue in favour of convict rights on the internet is to try and one day get my record expunged

If it sets a precedent that those with criminal histories can have their records expunged then sure.

There's thousands of people that get fucked over for life on non-violent crimes that aren't even in the same league as what Wahlberg committed.

I don't think he should be pardoned as an isolated case just because he's famous.
