I should've clarified in my previous comment that I wasn't referring to public opinion and the news cycle when I wrote "a pathway to removal of a false charge of guilt". My worry is that every time an employer or a government official does a background check on someone who was pardoned for a later-determined-to-be-wrongful conviction yet remains formally marked as guilty, the background check will bring up a misleading record that will tangibly affect the pardoned person's employment opportunities or exercise of legal rights. atmavatar gave some examples (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41303300 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41303300).
