Actor Mark Walberg wants a pardon for a criminal assault that blinded a man in 1988. He was 16 at the time but tried as an adult and served 3 months. He's crying his criminal record prevents him from getting a business license and local police won't let him work with juvenile delinquents.

I say no way. He's free and has led a successful life. Just use that example for juveniles that your life can turn out positive. Because he wants it doesn't mean he deserves it. Most pardons were ment for criminals in jail serving a sentence. I could see attempting to get his criminal record expunged but again I'd say no.

Commenter/s on that site noted he never apologized to his victim and apparently was a real juvenile terror/racist. Life is about living with your past and moving forward at the same time. Most do not get a re do and have to work with what they have and from where they are- Not what they desire.
 

This guy is a joke, an eye for an eye I say...no way in hell should this character be pardoned...come one now! :rolleyes: Yeah, he's not the same person, and neither are his victims...punk! :mad:

"The more complex answer is that receiving a pardon would be a formal recognition that I am not the same person that I was on the night of April 8, 1988," Wahlberg wrote in the petition. "It would be formal recognition that someone like me can receive official public redemption if he devotes himself to personal improvement and a life of good works."

No way. Just because he's now rich and famous, he thinks he can demand that? I say no. Sadly, he'll probably get it given the special treatment the rich and famous get.
 

He now has the fame and money to pursue this battle but he deserves the record that goes with his terrible deed. NO Pardon. Erasers are for pencils, not violent racists.
 
Wahlberg's childhood friend kills his own mom. He was also in at least one Wahlberg movie-The Fighter.

It's not so much as guilt by association but that Wahlberg's youth was anything but innocent. He probably didn't have just one fight where the victim was injured. Wahlberg eventually moved on to success-good. But he also was apparently keeping contact with some of his juvenile delinquent friends. Sometimes who one hung out with in the past is very telling about their personality and behavior, I've seen it.
 
Not a chance.. He's a serial criminal, this wasn't a one off mistake. he's got some nerve trying to get this erased from his record
